The ASC system has nothing to do with the power assisted seering system.

You need to get the pump replaced or repaired.
Alternatively
You could remove the power steering sytem altogether, you will be left with steering that's a bit heavy but much better feel and feedback.

I prefer the car without power steering.

Good luck

cheers mate, i got it replaced in the end, i thought that sounded a bit strange about the switch thingymibob! Whine is much much much quieter now but still there. my fitters said upfront that it wud never go away but it would possibly be quieter, i was surprised how quiet it actually turned out to be for a recon unit. they did a great job and were willing to drop the vat (£60 odd) for cash(though without yer 1yr warranty)....

Happy miniing
