    Have you ran the engine with the power steering res cap off and made sure oil level is correct. Then turned lock to lock a few times

    Re: Bleeding a valver's power steering??

    I found the best way to bleed the rack and pipework, was to jack up the car and stick it on axle stands, fill the reservoir with fluid, then turn the wheels from lock to lock manually, without running the engine to force the air out of the system. By doing it that way you don't cavitate the air in the pump and aerate the fluid, making it noisey.
    Of course that is assuming the pump isn't fooked and its all back together correctly.
