The steering pump whine is officially a issue…

When they say it’s “ normal “ what they actually mean is that,
most are not filled and bled from factory so as soon as they are started and driven it starts to damage the pump, then the owner drives it and damages the pump more.
At that point damage and noise is normal

Mines been over full since day one to the point it leaked. So that’s not accurate at all.

Well I went and purchased CHF 202 instead of the CHF 11s. But my reservoir barely needed any. BTW the CHF 202 is fully interchangeable with the 11S and is the newer spec. They've been saying online the 11S is being phased out and the 202 was created to help with pump whine. But I needed so little don't think it will make a diff.

Mine was basically full. How do you know if it's been bled or not?
