Check the level of your power steering fluid and top up with Automatic Transmission Fluid if necessary (Dexron 3 is the grade used in the Bongo). They don't have timing chains, it's a timing belt.

Gear drive from crank to pump curly - its your PS pump thats noisy - mine's the same for around 5 seconds - til pressure build lubes/quietens the pump gears. If longer time than that the pump's probably fubared

thanks for that. The noise dosnt go even when warm. ill go and see if i can source a pump and give it a try. Thanks for putting me write on the drive to the pump. Just had a thought do they have a 2 piece bottom pully with rubber damper which could go quiet when load put on it through turning steering?
