996 turbo power steering issue

[Rik Blythe]

Please help me…
996 turbo power steering fail.
I replaced the pump but still no power steering and a whine. No rev related.
Fluid gets hot really quick.

A pump fail is what a Porsche specialist diagnosed.
Any help is very welcome
Thanks

Steering rack leak? Common issue. Are the hydraulic fluid levels okay?

[Rik Blythe]

Hiya
Can see a leak and fluid levels seem good. It’s like the fluid isn’t getting around but the pump is ok????

Has it been bled correctly ?

[Rik Blythe]

I think so.
We’ve turned the steering from left to right full lock lots of times?

If there's no kinked pipes it'll be a bleeding issue.

Ok thanks ill go back and have another look

If it's whining loudly, it's still not bled properly. The pump will be noisy untill all the air is gone.

I think the Turbo also uses the pump to assist the clutch on a manual car, may be an idea to work the clutch too.
