2000 DII
About a year ago I was living in a colder climate (days below zero) and my p/s would whine badly when it was cold, this went on for weeks. When it finally warmed up all the fluid ran out onto the ground. I assume there was water in the fluid and it froze up blowing the seals on the pump. So I replaced it. Fast foward to now.....new pump lots of new fluid...flushed system.
Now when it is cold (below freezing) the damn thing still whines like it has no fluid. when it warms up it is fine, unless the temp is in the 20s then it never will get warm enough to stop. when it does this the ps does not work ,just like there is no fluid in the system. Something is blocking the flow of fluid in the system when it is cold.
Question: is there a valve somewhere in the system that could be sticking causing this?
I plan on flushing the system again....is there a better way to do this?
ANY help is greatly appreciated. I DO NOT want to have to replace that thing again NOT FUN.
Thanks guys/gals
