Maliboost Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Hello looking for some help 2013 edge sel awd just got new waterpump and timing set and new belts recently. Now notice there's a whining noise when accelerating and turning . Topped up PS fluid but still there. Sounds like maybe bad p.s pump?

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 awd always leads to questions about ptu fluid level and condition. mileage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe55068 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Just experienced this and it was the PTU Why did Ford not put this on the maintenance list I will never understand. I'm hoping the new part has a drain plug in it this time. Just turned 102K miles and the warrenty fell off at 100K Crap! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 you can always ask ford corporate for some goodwill adjustment, if the warrant was a Ford one. pretty soon after expiration, so worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 As it changes with engine speed, it's probably an accessory bolted onto the engine. As your not getting a battery light, probably rule out the alternator. Power steering is a common cause, especially when it runs low in fluid. One way to test is to turn the wheels left and right. If the whine gets louder, its probably the power steering pump. (Only the power steering pump will change sound when turning). Another possible cause is the serpentine belt. Usually presents as a high pitched whine. Usually louder just after the engine is started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Wheel bearings are another possibility if noise only happens while turning left or right. Def check that PS fluid level, as ^^^. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
