Need some help
I have astra 1.6 16v eco. I reversed my car whilst my steering wheel was on full lock until i hit something on my tyre as i felt it on the steering column either it was a pot hole or a ramp i dont know. what happened then was my battery light came on and PAS went really heavy and i was still able to drive the vehicle but PAS was really heavy. I parked up near a service station and was checking what had happened until the fan kicked in this switched the battery light off and PAS started working again, but now the problem is that when i am driving the car there is a loud whining noise coming from the engine bay. many ppl said it was the alternator but the alternator is charging fully and so is battery. plus i dnt understand that i hit my tyre and what the alternator has to do with anything. i personally think that it could be something to do with the PAS PUMP as PAS is feeling abit heavy. Any suggestions what it can be.:crying_2:
