Funny this actually happened to me today! I thought it was PAS pump, sent her to VagCo (I'm working away) it was PAS hose leaking

Si patched it up and topped fluid up and gave her a bottle of fluid :) top man

[rich83]

I think thats where she will be taking it tomorrow Mike. 

[Andy]

 a customer phoned me wanting to diagnose a noise on his engine over the phone with him holding the phone to the engine
My g/f always breaks down as she doesn't put petrol in her car

[nezquick]

sounds about right! although my misses is becoming more interested in the cars and wants to start getting more into the 'scene' and start tuning her car a bit with my help. I thought it was a trap at first but she is getting more keen. Anyway she's getting the vw up! now so I don't think it will last. But at least I can live knowing that my partner won't own and tune a car that is faster than mine as that would just be 

[JackG]

Mines the complete opposite, doesn't hear a F*ing thing! I get in the car and it's knocking,whining,rattling! The whole lot! Ill ask how long the noise has been there then I get the "what noise" 
Last time that happend it was a 2K bill
