URGENCY: When the bearings fail completely, the fan will pull forward and slice a nice big smile-shaped chunk out of the radiator, making it leak profusely.

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
/ Q+ \( _- s: J: f7 i" m1 M% NWHAT: The pressure relief valve inside the pump is dumping excess power-steering hydraulic fluid back into the reservoir. It's supposed to do that, although maybe a little more quietly.
% K" R* M# H. {4 ^( ], g9 lURGENCY: No big deal.
- j6 b+ r% g! K# J2 m2 pFIX: It's normal. Actually, you should check the level of power steering fluid in the pump. Don't hold the wheel hard on the stop like that; it annoys pedestrians and is tough on the belt.

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.; ^. G& ^) T7 P
URGENCY: Make an appointment, and don't take a long trip. This won't go away on its own--until just before the belt fails.1 ^3 r! u* N1 P/ T
FIX: Check belt tension and pulley alignment; replace the belt. |
