My car has been making a strange whining nose from under the bonnet,this gets louder on acceleration . The garage thinks it might be the power steering pump,I,m not convinced,anyone experienced anything like this.

Difficult to diagnose noise via internet but P/S pump whine would cause no noticable effects

That sounds about right then,it's not affecting the car at all,is this likely to be an expensive job and is it one only a garage can do . Thanks for your help .

Than you,my husband did replace the pipe on this a few years ago because it was leaking,could an air block or something else cause this,as far as I am aware the level of fluid is fine .
