Chuffling/Warbling Power Steering Pump Belt?

[Alex Kowalski]

Sì, sì, era bella!  ;)

I didn't take the ride with the idea that it would have that side-effect, but I'm not complaining now.   I hadn't intended to do the top-gear runs, either...but the road was soooooo empty...and where I am, that's an opportunity not to be missed.  It was good to get a feel for the car in stock condition, so that I can compare when I change out the chip/intercooler/WG spring.

All in the interest of science, of course.  ;)

I'm guessing that the idler pulley hadn't had a good, long spin in a while.   I've been very gentle with the car and I have the feeling the previous owner was, too.  I'll know when I do the timing belt next month.

Cheers,
