Thomas Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Cayman 987.2 2.9 2009 PDK Got a whining noise when turning the wheel and a mechanic friend advised to check the power steering hydraulic fluid. Topped this up and the problem went away for a week or so. The reservoir is still full but the power steering is now not working at all. my mechanic pal (Not Porsche trained) says it’s most likely the pump needs replacing. Any advice of a garage who could do this ........ would prefer not to take it to a main dealer re cost etc I live near Wimbledon. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Not working at all? ... No power assistance at all? Have you checked the serpentine drive belt firstly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Hi Mavrik Yes the belt is worn a little but still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Sorry. Meant to say..... if revving the engine the steering does lighten up a little. But normal driving etc it is very heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Ah! ... Prob needs new pump then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlosRich Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 So it's not losing fluid from the steering rack? Does sound like the pump. Yes find a Porsche specialist out of London for lower prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarlechS Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 definitely sounds like the pump, have you found out the location of the leak? how quickly are you losing the fluid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie1996 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 RSJ Sports Cars are in Slough, might be an option, they're a Porsche specialist, been in business 20 years or more. I lately bought my car from them. Their mechanics are personable, know their stuff I think, might give you a good price/advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
