I have a 2004 honda Element that makes a rattling noise when the engine is warmed up and idling in Drive. It is not a whining sound. but if I turn the steering wheel and then let the steering wheel go, the noise goes away for about 10 - 30 seconds. Could that be a sign the power steering pump is going bad?
Helpful video thanks and I subscribed. I have a 05 CRV. I had mechanic replace both rings, intake and outgo and replaced the fluid with honda power steering fluid. No change but my mechanic said he thinks it might take me driving it a bit for the noise to be gone because it might have some air in the line after fluid replacement. I've only driven about 10 miles since the whole procedure and the noise is not gone and there are no bubbles in the reservoir. Was my mechanic correct in that more driving will eliminate the air and eliminate the whine?
@@hardlymovingpro Thanks for replying. I drove 125 miles today and no change. My son knows Honda mechanics in Montana and they'll hopefully give me some advice. Thanks again.
@@lucascerda9458 In the end it was an aftermarket pressure line to the rack and pinion that was too small. Hose replaced with a OEM Honda pressure line. Hope this helps.
If you remove the hoses, the fluid in the reservoir will leak profusely out of the holes where the hoses connect, at the bottom. But you could try to time it right, I guess
@@hardlymovingprothere is a bleeding procedure to perform if you empty the reservoir New reservoirs and pumps come with the instructions. You need a vacuum pump.
2:30 look at those pro pouring skills not a drop spilled. 👍

Difficult to determine without seeing the car. Also, Honda ps pumps are known for premature failures.
Did the product help stop the whine in the from the power steering pump?
Yes it did!

Possible.

@@hardlymovingpro Or do you think an additive would work?
Can I know what was the problem. I have a 2007 accord and changed O-rings, pump, and reservoir and still have the noise

On Honda's the container just lifts off its holder no bolts and you can dump it and clean it after removing the hoses
Yes ... I'm sure there's other ways of removing the fluid from the reservoir.
@@hardlymovingproyou said different ways to in the video so I just said another. I bet there better ways to get subs and likes than being a doush

How do I get one please
A link to a bottle of MotorKote is provided in the description area of this video.
Power steering making noises…dumps some Motorkote…power steering fixed, calls it a day. ROFL 🤣
Motorkote is good stuff
That’s not Honda power steering fluid
That's right. But can be used in Honda pumps as stated on the bottle.
Hose orings
YOU CANT BLEED THE POWER STEERING OIL BY JUST SUCKING IT FROM THE RESERVOIR.
You don't "bleed" power steering systems. You do bleed brake systems to remove air pockets.
@@hardlymovingprothere is a bleeding procedure to perform if you empty the reservoir
New reservoirs and pumps come with the instructions. You need a vacuum pump.
