So the pump was replaced by the previous owner about two months ago. He then had a leak in the system and long story short it has been all fixed. But the wrong fluid was put in the pump. I tried to get as much of it out as I could and I put the right hydraulic fluid in. A few days after I bought the car something started to knock. It sounded like really bad rod knock. But I used my mechanics stethoscope and it was definitely coming from the pump. I tried bleeding the system of air but I could never get all the air out. There were always bubbles. And there still is now! I tried to get some out tonight for 15 minutes just turning the wheel back and forth. Still has air in it. I just don’t get it. Anyway I was having my dad look at it and when the car was running I noticed that there were small metal shavings coming from the pump. There are non in the fluid though. Then I started to look around the engine bay and there are shavings everywhere! I never noticed it lol. This has been going on for a month so it’s really been collecting. I’m really not looking forward to replacing the pump. At least it has a lifetime warranty on it from auto zone. Before I replace it though does anyone have an idea of what happened? I’m going to be doing the timing belt next semester which is In January. So hopefully it will last that long lol. I can take a video if anyone is interested. Thanks for reading!
