A few weeks ago I was driving to work when my car, a 2002 PT cruiser, began making a loud whining noise, coming from somewhere under the hood. Not wanting to think about the possible causes and expenses for this potential problem I quickly decided on a brilliant temporary solution, turn on the radio, drown out the noise, and hope it went away. Perpetually tuned to NPR, the first sounds from the radio was a voice of a man saying he car sounded like Larry from the Three Stooges, that his car was going “Wooo…Wooo….Woooo”, just like my car was at that very moment. I had apparently tuned in to a segment of “car Talk” in which the caller was playing “Stump the Chumps.” They told the caller you believed the problem was his power steering pump was failing, and you sounded a little incredulous to learn from him that this was not the problem.
I pulled over at the nearest gas station, and on checking my car’s power steering fluid level, found it very low. Quickly purchasing a container of power steering fluid, I filled the reservoir, and magically the noise stopped. It appears that their diagnosis was correct; they just had the wrong car.
