Power steering pump - replacement cost.

Worth doing IMO if you have a high milage van / PAS problems / too much time

It was a main dealer oil service at Listers VW Droitwich. They recommended further (paid for) investigation.

Nothing. I just chose to ignore their advice.
I will just get the timing belt and water pump changed, as I know they are due.
I will check my magnets again tomorrow.

I have just added a few magnets to the PAS reservoir dipstick. I will see what they collect.

I can’t see any swarf, would they change the PAS fluid on an oil change service?

Not sure the pump is made of magnetic material. Shine a torch in there and check for metal specks
