Squeaking Sound From Engine

Hi all,

I have a 97 starlet, 1.3 litre 4E-FE engine.

There is a noise coming from the engine that i can only discribe as a sort of squelching squeaking sound. I think it is comming from the power steering pump. It was only making it when i was taking of, but now i can hear it all the time.

It increases in speed along with the engine revs.

Has anyone ever had this sound, and is it the power steering pump.

Am i ok to get a second hand pump from a brakers and put it in.

And last of all is it a big job to change.

Could it be a slipping auxiliary drive belt?

Check it isn't any of the auxiliary belts!

Also one belt will power the alternator and water/coolant pump; the other the power steering. Remove the power steering belt and run the engine, that will tell you if it's the steering pump :thumbsup:
