Maybe your belt is a little worn and slipping slightly.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 06/06/11 10:36 AM Share Posted 06/06/11 10:36 AM What colour is the fluid ??? Both Holdens and Fords pumps arn't the best. A better high temp fluid goes a long way to helping them last.You could try draining the fluid out of it and replacing it with decent stuff. But once they get noisy they tend to stay that way.
