Omg you saved me a heart attack! I thought it was coming from the transmission! That's the exact noise my 07 TSX is making and I noticed the reservoir was empty. I added some fluid and it went away. I will be replacing the O-ring this weekend ! Thank you Jim !

Genius! my 2005 HOnda Accord got the buzzing and loss of power steering in the morning of cold day, I followed this instruction and got it fixed in one minute, steering is sharp. Thank you.

Thank you Jim. I had a loud humming sound in 2007 Honda Accord . The o ring replacement solved the problem in about ten minutes. You are amazing.

Thank you for providing the part number in the description!

I like watching all your videos....straight to the point. Not like other videos that so annoying, they show a lot of stuffs that sometime not related to the topic. Well done Sir...more power to you Sir Jim!

something so simple I thought my power steering pump went!! fixed so cheap, thanks my friend for sharing this video!

Thank you Jim. I think I have appraised a few of these Civics making this noise and I just assumed it was an old pump. Excellent information. I've come across a few of your videos and they are very informative and well made. Subscribed.

Ty for making this. I was prepared to pay a mechanic to fix this issue and all it took was a trip to honda parts and 10 minutes of my day. Thanks for being thorough on how to go easy on removing and re installing the bolt. I can see where someone could mess that up.

Just did both rings in my '07 CRV. Took less than 30 minutes and groan immediately disappeared. Both old rings were very rigid and obviously needed to be replaced. Thanks again Jim!

Thanks for a part number in description it was helpful a lot

I want to Thank You This was GREAT to know about. I went and bought a Power steering Pump for $170 and started looking on You Tube on how to do it. Then I saw your fix for the noise. Man you saved me $150. Thank You So much It works Great and I can take the Pump back.

Thanks very much Jim, my mechanic said it was the water pump and timing belt making the noise and tried charging me almost $500!!! Turns out it was just a 5 cent o ring...

Efficient and to the point. Great video that confirmed my suspicion on what the noise was. Ty very much!

Jim, thank you so much for the tips in this video. Just heard thar buzzing sound coming off my steering and got me pretty worry. You saved me a few bucks now that I know I can do this myself. Thank you sir!

Thank you so much! My 2005 Honda Accord has been making this noise when it's cool outdiors for a couple years.More recently it's tough to turn the steering wheel before it gets warm . I bought this used it was not very pretty. Little things keep falling apart on it but the engine is amazing . The only cost for four brand new tires and a new battery. I live in a mountainous area. a It zooms up thousand feet without losing power. I couldn't afford for it to be an expensive problem . When the button on my shifter broke I found your videos. I appreciate you!

Thank you for this video! I have a 2011 Honda Accord that has been making that buzzing or whining noise for a long time especially during the cold weather. Once I replaced the O-Ring I started the car and the noise was gone. Spent less than 9 dollars and that includes the power steering fluid. Thank you, again, you are a money saving guy.

Great tip Jim . Haven't done one I. awhile but I used to keep plenty in stock . It covered so many models and years

YOUR RIGHT! In less than 10 minutes I fixed the power steering noise. Thank You and God Bless.

Great work! Saved my bacon! I immediately thought the P.S. pump was going out. In searching KZfaq I found your video. Worked like a dream! Had it repaired in 20 minutes. BUT,...your holding up the part # saved me...because the guy at Honda parts desk had NO IDEA what I needed...however, I had him turn the computer screen towards me and examine the P.S. parts legend and BOOM!..found it! Anyways....just to say THANK YOU! Cost of O-ring: $4.00 ... You saved me several 100's of $$. Peace and blessings to you!

Thank you!!!... I was having problems with my Acura rsx... I can't believe how easy it was to fix it.. . Thank you for this video...

Great video, easily fixed the noisy power steering and bubbling fluid issue on my Accord. Thank you!

Good job, Jim: Thanks for your demonstration for the replacement. My 2008 Accord also has same problem. I checked local maintain shops. They said that it have to change a new pump or to replace the whole set of oil leakage seals. It is easy and help work while I saw your demonstration. Now I fixed it. Thanks again.

Hey Jim, I have a 2007 Honda Element with 247K miles...great car for sure. I had the exact buzzing noise from my power steering pump and the reservoir had a lot of foam. Mechanic said the power steering pump needed replacement...well, I watched your video and replaced that o-ring ($3 from Honda). Wow!! Solved the problem in less than 5 minutes, no more buzzing and the Element drives perfect. You saved me a LOT of money! Oh, if anyone is getting a P2646 code with the VSA, !, and check engine lights with the rpm not able to go over 2,800 rpm, it's probably the VTEC solenoid needs replacement. Warning!! Do NOT buy an aftermarket solenoid, buy a new OEM Honda solenoid ($162) from the dealership. I tried to save money and bought a Dorman solenoid ($100) from Auto Zone and another off brand from Amazon ($45)...both worked for about 20 miles before the failed. The OEM part solved the problem!! Thank again Jim for your professional videos!! U Da Man!!!

Thanks so much! This fixed it exactly. Bought a $10 o-ring kit from the local parts store and had it fixed in minutes. It did take a little bit of driving to purge the air and get the noise to go away. Two days later after only a few miles of local driving, the noise is completely gone. I had this noise for a while, and even then, it apparently didn't damage the pump thankfully. If I do have to replace the pump down the road, the kit came with two o-rings - the 2nd one I'll be able to use the high pressure side.

Thanks Jim! My 2008 CRV starting making this low whine noise and I was really confused as to where the problem was. You’re a great resource and I thank you very much for saving me $$$.

Who is here I 2020. Saved me a ton. Pumps are expensive

You are fantastic. Worked for my 2005 Acura MDX. Thanks for posting a money saver video.

I have a 2011 CRV and this is exactly what was wrong with it. Fixed for under a dollar(OEM part) Thank you and love your channel

Thanks, Jim. Looks the same as my Euro 2.2 turbo diesel. Hoping you've just saved me a lot of money. Thanks again and hi from Scotland

wow Eric this worked like a charm. I purchased the $.94 Oring. It took all of three minutes to complete. Thanks a bunch. I was in fear it was a my pump needing replacing.

Thanks to all you tubers on advice for fixing my Honda.

Thank you so much Jim ,I am ready to change my o’ring this weekend

thank you so much, im pretty sure this is whats wrong with mine and the mechanic told me 400. i will test it out tomorrow. thank you for your time and knowledge!!

I wonder and amaze some of the people who put up a sign 👎 If you have a note to say and we discuss it, but according to your mood, this is not true The man gets tired of preparing information for us and he presents him with a video that takes effort and time. We must thank him for what he offers us

Thanks Jim for the presentation. We have a 2006 Odyssey and it’s leaking in the same area. I think the o-ring repair should similar.

Thank you so very much. Clear, easy to follow instructions and tips. Worked for me!

well done jimmy.... you just saved me $500 for a new pump..hello from Adelaide Australia

Thanks a bundle Jim, you've saved me a few bob, as we say in the old UK (a bob is slang for a shilling. Shillings have long gone but we still use the expression). Thanks again.

Nice tip buddy. And almost a free repair , even better. 👍👍

Hi Jim, I am a poor student from Austin, Texas, having a 2004 Honda Accord. I followed your steps and finally solved the issue that the power steer was hard to turn during the cold days when the vehicle was just started, and once the temperature increased to the normal level, it was easy to turn. Less than 3 bucks to purchase the o-ring and a screwdriver to get the job done in 20 minutes. This problem has been there for more 4 years since I owned the vehicle. The former owner told me to pull in some antifreeze. One dealer told me to change the power steering pump, which costs about $500. Another dealer told me to flush the power steering fluid as well as repair the power steering pump for the low pressure, which costs about $400. I understand people want to make money for their work, but I don't think it is the way. I appreciate your time and efforts to knowledge guys like me, who is without any experience of vehicle repair and maintenance. Also, I decide to do the regular maintenance and repair work by myself first rather than asking for help from the greedy dealers. Wish you a Merry Christmas.

Awesome video. I like it's an easy repair like that. Sadly easy repairs don't happen to often. But you always do an amazing job. I always look forward to your videos. Thanks for sharing them. I hope you have a blessed week my friend.

BTW, I did the fix you recommended and it worked Great! Thanks again.

Thanks for all the tips on keeping our Honda's running. Keep up the good work.

Thanks again Jim. I just did this repair on my 09 Honda Accord EXL. It was moaning and groaning with each turn of the wheel. I look under the hood and power steering fluid was all over the place. I guess the fluid bubbles up and out the reservoir. So I grab a set of o rings for the top and inlet side. But it’s thanks for getting me in the right direction.

Nicely done Jim, including the video.

Thanks! I did this repair on an 07 odyssey and it took care of the noise. The dealership parts guy called the o ring, RDA. I only replaced the suction side o ring, the orange one. I didn't expect the old o ring to be black, and it appeared slightly thinner in the thickness of the ring. There was more fluid leaked than I expected would be! I had a bunch of paper towels underneath it, so caught most of it. That bolt was really difficult to get at. I had just done a reservoir replacement and this might have been easier to do along with that. If only i had known it was needing to be done too.

Thank you for this video! I completed this on my 2007 Honda CR-V with the help of my 12 yr old son. Saved me from having to deal with my dealership and my son loved helping. He wants to be a mechanic.

Was making noise everyone I was turning n making a winding noise. Replaced the o-ring. Totally fixed the problem!! Thanks for the video

You just saved me so much time and so much money! You are the god! I paid £5 and it took me exactly 3 minutes! My power steering is not making any sounds anymore and plus my ABS light was on and it is gone now so thats a double thank you! Greetings from Europe United Kingdom!

Thank you for your video. I had the same noise problem and just went to my favorite auto part to get the o-ring getting in my case the part 91370-SV4-000 that has both o-rings (high pressure hose + reservoir hose) Replaced both and finally the noise gone. Thank you a lot!

Thank you for the video, I just fix my daughters 2005 Honda Accord with this tip and it worked like magic, and my daughter thinks I'm a genius :)

Great job Jim that's exactly what my steering column is doing making the noise I have a V6 thank you for your informative videos keep continuing to send them out looking forward to them

I have a 04 in great condition EX I just hit 95000 thanks for the help I have the same problem and I did not know exactly what to replace thank you so much you saved me from going to a mechanic.

I changed the O ring and the noise was gone. Thank you so much!

Thanks Jim for responding. All good now.

The man! You just got urself another sub, ty for the help!

Thanks man! Followed these instructions and it took me 3mins and $18 for the o ring

Thanks so much for the great video! Solved the power steering whine in my 07 Accord.

Thank you very much Jim for your great details video

I replaced this on my 06 about 3 years ago but the noise has returned... Im hoping that I just need to replace the ring again and not the actual pump. This a great video--straight to the point with enough detail on how to do it correctly.

Thanks Jimthecarguy.....after watching your how to do it video my power steering is now fixed.......BUT as i looked at the video and you in your NAPA hat i only assumed that you were a NAPA mechanic soooooooooo i went to NAPA for the "O" ring.......(NOT smart) it was $11.47......so I'm thinking it is a special part and would cost a little more ,well i go to install it on the pump...i dropped it down somewhere around the motor and couldn't find it soooooooo now I'm thinking I'll have to put out another $11.47 for another one.soooooo i went to Honda for the "O" ring i work not too far from there and surprise surprise, surprise, 😲 .........OK this will hurt a LOT, the "O" ring price 0.97cent............all was my fault I did not LOOK before I Leaped...let the buyer be were. IN all it was worth it, my power steering is back to new.so THANKS JIM

This also helped the foaming problem I had in the reservoir. 👍👍

Thanks Jim! I've had this issue since last winter and had no idea it was so easy to fix. I actually changed both O-rings (top and bottom) since I was already there and also changed out Power Steering Reservoir Tank/Cap and fluid. The bolt for the bottom O-ring was a bit challenging to get out on 2007 Odyssey as not much room but was able to use a small 10 mm wrench.

Worked for my 05 Honda Accord Coupe! Great video.

Thanks for your respond .I will check that this weekend

Thanks for this video. It fixed my foamy steering fluid cause by air from that old O ring. Plus the noice from steering wheel is gone as well

Thanks very much my car's noise was loud and I took it to my dealer and he said I don't think the problem is about the o ring . and I told him I believe it is , so I went to Honda store and I got the o ring and I changed the old one with the new one and i noticed that the old one was very thick and hard and the result was amazing I never thought that the solution would be this easy . Big thanks from Saudi Arabia

Great video. Fixed my 04 tsx in less than 5 minutes

Our Honda i-VTECH was making the same noise and so many other People we know that has the same thing. The O Ring did the tricks for all of us too :D. 2 Thumbs Up !!!

Haven't tried yet but just want to comment that this is a nicely made vid and easy to follow.

That was a simple job, and I have had that problem on one of my current vehicles and had it checked out. I know there are many others who had the same problem also since I hear the noise from other vehicles when we meet, and know they have to get that checked out. Thanks for showing us how to take care of that with just the O-ring replacement.

Man if you’re ever in Denver I owe you a beer! This fixed the problem. 2006 Acura TSX P.S. reservoir was bubbling and pump was whining.

Thanks Jim, very helpfully.

Thanks for the info! Works like a charm😉

Got the replacement ring installed and my steering now is as smooth as a baby's bottom. Thanks!

Thanks man! This worked great on a 2008 Honda Element. Thanks for the tip about the rags over the alternator, too. I appreciate it!

Thanks for posting this video. I had already priced a new pump when I ran across this. 10 mins and zero dollars later problem solved. Local Honda parts store actually gave me the 83 cent o-ring for free.

Excellent video thanks!!! RIdgeline 2008 fixed like new!

Good job Jim

Wow! That works! Thank you so much!

Nice and clean as usual . Thnax Jim 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank God for youtube. You saved me a ton of money Jim, I cant thank you enough. Just watching your video I totally got rid of the screeching noise on steering. Thank you again for your great video keep it up!! :)

Nice tip Jim, worked like a charm.

I was just about to pull the trigger on a brand new power steering pump, and I just happened to stumble on this. I believe this is the problem on my 02 CRV. Thanks Jim.

I did this and it really works my cars noise completley gone and fixed thank you

Thanks Jim it worked great keep up the good work

Thanks again brother, it worked like a charm.

Jim,,,,THANK YOU so much, for saving me over 600 dollars, from the f&^$ dealer, my pump had just started to make noise on my 06 Pilot 3.5 V6 and the dealer claim it was leaking and needed to be replace they quoted me 680.00 to replace, went to a different dealer to get the o-ring for under 3.00 bucks and it did the magic....

Thanks Jim...that o ring was the problem

Hi Jim...great video..I followed it to the tee! Easy to replace! Is the brake fluid in the reservoir suppose to be swirling around inside?

Beautiful video sir.

another awesome video jim thanks

Awesome! Solved my problem, I have so many issues with my crv lately and so far everything has been a gasket or o-ring. Guess it could be worse

Thank you! Help me a lot!!! It's work!

Excellent. Thanks Jim.

thanks jim for this video

thanks for the information I have a 2006 accord and I follow your instructions and the problem was solved

Thank you. Really helpful video

Thank you, sir. That was a very informative and useful video. Love the northeastern accent!

Great video. I had this same problem, only noticed it around 35F or lower. The other day it was 24 out and it was GROANING. A few bucks later and 15 minutes and it's nice and quiet now. I assume the air will work itself out of the system?
