Hi all,
was driving my 03 mini one today, parked up, turned engine off, got out, and noticed the steering whine was still 'on', luckily i work part time in a garage, took it straight there, put it on the ramp, had a look underneath, the pump was fairly warm but not hot, thought could be a stuck relay or something, checked all fuses and relays etc, were all fine, went on the computer and looked at the faults and fixes section and found other peoples problems, got scared !
, disconnected my battery and rang up mini williams rochdale (nearest dealer)
i plugged in the diagnostics computer at the garage and came up with no faults etc.
i am taking the car to the dealer tomorow for them to have a look at it, but i am pretty sure from what i have read and the symptoms that it is a new pump but i will see what they say, i will get a quote from them, but before i book it in for the work,
is it worth buying a pump through the garage /
BBA reman. ABS, ecu's, throttle bodies, air mass meters, and catalytic converters, and fitting myself??
neither i or anybody else who works at the garage has done a pump on a mini before, but i have read a thread on here saying it is fairly straight forward, any ideas anybody?
sorry about the long post, but like to give the full story
cheers
