PS pump removal - something still whistling!!

How quick can you get the inlet manifold off? Access is pretty easy after that.

That's a good point m8y. If I take the PS belt off and the whistle disappears, I think that inlet manifold off will be the way to go.

Speedy has flagged a few things to check first, including possible issues with the high pressure pipe being kinked.

That's an interesting one!
The pump on mine rattled (rather than whistled) like mad before I finally treated it to a new one.

You probably know this but assuming your in an AC car the PS pump is driven off the AC pump - access is very tight for getting at belts.

Yep, A/C car but with the condenser missing. I reckon I will either remove the A/C pump and reposition the PS pump, or get it working again. It was a bit warm inside it last year!!
