Power Steering Problem After Changing Santro Belts - Page 2 - Team-BHP

nura · 26th January 2008, 10:39

I finally went back to Saini Hyundai (Hyundai Dealer's Workshop) to get the clutch overhauled & asked them to check the power steering pump thoroughly.
They have replaced the clutch plate, pressure plate, clutch release bearing & clutch cable & the clutch operation is perfect. Unfortunately the grinding noise. vibration & intermittent engine RPM increase still persist.
They removed the old power steering pump but could not find any fault in it. They installed a new power steering pump but it did not solve the problem. So they have refitted the old pump.
It has probably become a little bit of a mental thing with me but I do want to get rid of this problem. Where do I go from here? I asked if it could be a defective power steering pressure switch but was told this would have certainly resulted in a leakage.
Any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated.

Hi Nura, I think even my Santro which has done about 45k kms needs the change of belts and clutch overhauled. Could you pls provide me the costs of replacement of these parts at the A.S.S?
Thanks,
Cheers

Some good news that I'd like to share. The noise, vibration & engine RPM problems disappeared after the power steering pump pulley was changed!
@Lukeskywalker - Belt-replacement including labour cost me Rs 900. Clutch plate, pressure plate, release bearing & cable replacement with labour cost Rs 3800. The jobs were done at Saini Hyundai, a dealer's workshop.

Thanks Nura, I was asked for around 8k for clutch replacement, hence my query. I'll check again with the Hyundai centre. Just discovered the santro clutch pedal has absolutely no resistance to offer when engaging it, also could not slot gears smoothly, there was a free service checkup by Gulf oil ppl at my apartment complex and on getting the car inspected, was told the clutch cable is cut, so needs to be replaced.

A clutch cable replacement should cost you about Rs 600.
