I’ve got a MkIII 2.0 tdci that’s started making a funny whine, specifically when steering and also slightly when applying revs. I suspect this to be the steering pump. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also how much is it likely to cost? I’ve found refurb pumps on the interweb for ~£85 with a £50 return fee for the old pump but how many hours labour is it going to be to replace? (I don’t have time to see to it myself)

Thanks in advance!

When it used to be mondeo.org it was spot on for tech info.
