Did you cap the system when you disconnected, and what type of fluid did you use. Several things would make this happen 1. You overfilled the reservoir when you replaced it with the hose 2. Air became trapped in the steering system upon replacement 3. Bad steering pump is not pulling fluid from the reservoir, but pushing fluid into the reservoir when you turn. I would say there is air in the system since you opened the system to make a repair. Either one of these problems can damage other components, so I hope you get this fixed sooner than later. Good luck!

SOURCE: power steering keeps breaking the hose and makes a whining noise

If you get some odd noise from steering when you are turning tight, the pump doesn't get enough oil.
At first check the steering oil level is a pit more than "high".

If it is not help, there is sometimes dust in oilfilter?
(undocument problem)
The streering oil filter is inside the steering reservoir (oil tank?).
I took the reservoir out and clean the filter and now it is ok.

SOURCE: when driven about 10 miles, makes a noise similar

The Power Steering Pump has a Fluid Cooler, a small radiator located on the bottom of the Van. It is used to cool the power steering fluid off. If there is a blockage problem this will cause overheating.
Although there is fluid, when was the fluid last changed? Then was the last time this entire System was flushed?
However, the Power Steering Pump making noise only when heated is a definite beginning sign that Power Steering Pump Bearings are failing. When these fail, they do so without too much warning, meaning Noise and then failure immediately after!
Before you run out and buy a new Power Steerin Pump, make sure it is in fact the Pump and not the nearby Pulley's or Pump's. Some people rush to judgement and change out the Pump when the nearby pulley bearing was the real culprit.
Let me know if this helped. or if you have additional information or questions. Feel free to contact me at FixYa.com!

SOURCE: power steering pump return line hose keeps

Was it replaced with the proper type of hose? If your using a generic hose it may not be able to handle the pressure of the pump and it could cause it to burst.

SOURCE: the windshield washer just quit

check the supply lines from the reservoir to the outlets. the line runs under the heat blanket attached to the bottom side of the hood. These lines get brittle with cold and age. Mine broke last winter. Less than $2 for splices at auto parts store and I was back in business. Have someone turn on the sprayer while you look under the hood. if spray is not working, fuses are good, it is probable the sprayer motor. Check the supply lines first.

It is. No other cure. Make sure it is engine oil. Look at your head on that side of the engine.

Power steering making noise

The power steering will make a noise if insufficient oil is in the system. After replacing the pump, it is no good just topping up the reservoir, the system needs to be purged. It is best to do this with the front wheels off the ground. Fill the reservoir and then, with the engine running, turn the wheel from lock to lock ( fully one way then fully the other way). Do this a number of times and keep topping up the reservoir to the correct level. With the bonnet, (Hood), up you should be able to hear where the noise is coming from. If the system has been properly serviced it should be quiet. If not you might have to get another pump.

2003 dodge grand caravan problems with whining noise. Had power steering Pump replaced. Still whining noise . Louder when turning the steering wheel.

There is a relatively simple solution to the problem you and many others are having. The power steering reservoir contains a mesh screen filter. Over time it will start to plug up and cause the symptom you and many others are having. Replacing the reservoir will 99% of the time resolve the issue. I have done this successfully on many Caravans, Town and Countrys, and Voyagers.

The part is available from you local Dodge dealer.

To remove
1. remove the two screws that hold the reservoir to the intake plenum.
2. Loosen the nut on the backside and under the reservoir. It is in between the coil and the reservoir. a 10mm socket and extension will work.
3. place a bunch of rags under the reservoir to catch the power steering fluid that will spill.
4. remove the two hoses from the reservoir.

After you intsll the new one top of with ATF+4 transmission fluid. This is the only fluid that is recommended for you P/S system by the Dealer. Typically I will flush the power steering system prior to installing the new reservoir to make sure the fluid is as clean as possible in order to get the maximum life from the new reservoir.

hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

How do i change my power steering fluid

Hi B, There are basically two places that can make a noise from the power steering; one is a loose belt which will produce a loud screeching sound which will become more intense when the steering wheel is turned. That one means that the belt has stretched and should be replaced or re-tightened. The second type of noise will be from the pump and will mean a replacement or at the very least a repair job (if the repair kit is available). Replacing the fluid is not a great problem. Locate the reservoir and the low pressure pipe which returns the fluid into it It will came from the steering assembly. (a rubber pipe attached with hose clips. The high pressure feed pipe will connect to the steering pump).Get a large container, which must be at least four times the capacity of the replacement fluid, You will probably need in the region of seven to ten pints, maybe more.. Join an extension hose to the return pipe and run that into the catchment container. Be prepared with the replacement fluid and ask a friend to start the engine. As the engine starts, begin filling and keep filling. The used ATF will run into the catchment container and when it becomes clean cut the engine. Reconnect the hose to the reservoir and check that there are no leakages. Regards John

My 2002 bmw 525i makes noise when turning the steering wheel

Please describe the noise. Is the noise inside the car or beneath the car? Is it a squeak, a clink, or a grind?
If the car has over 100k miles on it, and it makes a hydraulic pump whine when you turn the wheel, look in the reservoir and see if the fluid is still bright red. If the fluid has turned brown, many (including me) have been able to quiet the whine by removing the reservoir and flushing the gunked up screen in the reservoir out with solvent, and then replacing the power steering fluid with fresh fluid.
If you do this yourself, be prepared to dedicate a whole Saturday to the job. If you have any drips from your power steering hoses (common) this will give you the excuse to get in there and replace the leaking hoses while you are at it.
