Power Steering Pump - Replacement Procedure

[CKZ 102]

Hi Folks,

I've had a look in downloads, and I can't seem to find anything around the procedure for replacing the Power Steering Pump on my T6.

Does anyone know of anywhere I can find this procedure myself.

(Long story short - A garage fitted a new rack and pump to my van, Two racks, and three subsequent pumps later and I still have pump issue...metal in system, and a lot of groaning at slow speeds. I suspect the garage that did the work didn't bleed it properly and got air trapped in the system).

Thanks!

I too am looking for this info... looking to replace my pump and want to make sure it's achievable.

Thanks

Two hours on the drive start to finish, with only basic tools. Ideal if you have a palm to help get you things and hold bits out the way.

Reading this, my first thought was whether they flushed the debris out or just pumped it round each subsequent replacement part?

I bought the 5litres from TPS, and it was apparently flushed.

The filter in the reservoir was heavily filled with swarf, so it could have been the latest pump disintegrating, or the mechanic didn’t.

At this point I’m inclined to just say this was a poor mechanic.

Hi. Today replaced engine oil and noticed fluid leak from steering pump. checked fluid level was below the cool level line. Is it worth changing it now ? Or just top it up and checking level more often.

This is how my saga started. I was able to keep it topped up until I got a first pump installed. I think the choice is totally up to you….but at some point it will need doing.

My steering rack looks fine, dry both sides. For now I want replace the steering fluid just in case if any metal bits in sistem. What pump did you put on?

I went for a Meyle pump.

Also installed a metallic filter on the return line too.

Could you add the pictures of your filter on return line ? Is not much info on YouTube how to change pump or adding filter to privet it. Thanks
