A Little Help Please!??

[anthonys2]

Guys correct me if am wrong but would I be right in thinking power steering pumps are now obsolete?? Mine has developed a bad leak so looking to replace or refurbish if they are available is it main dealer or where can I get one and for how much please? Any guidance/help very much appreciated

Chester Autosteer did one for me a few years ago.sent it to them they refurbed came back like new worked perfectly and cost £125.00.Mine was leaking from the big black cap on top that looks like it will take a huge + impliment to remove it.Price will be a little bit more now but not much.Dealer price is rediculous reason why i got mine refurbed. Its a really easy job too.Good luck

Great thanks matey one less job to worry about next one is the subframes so whilst ive got this thread going where can I get bushes from for front and rear subframes and which are the best to use? I know its been discussed by loads in the past?!!! Oh last they are off is it worth replacing anything else I was going to tell my garage to replace everything!!?

You get can a new cross nut and seal for about £5 from TPS Did mine a few nmonths back

[s2driveruk]

yep, i would try that route first as they do tend to go...you do have to be careful whn replacing it not to mess up the new seal or you will be back to square one!

Thats well worth knowing saving a lot of money!!

The top one is easy to fit but there is one underneath too, if that goes think you have to take the pump off to get at it

Cheers Guys so many knowledgeable people Big year for my S2, 1st get my PAS pump renewed/repaired, Alternator sounds like the bearings have gone making a noisey rattle very annoying!! then looking at the subframes and then before next winter it will get a full paint restoration done by an expert and also good friend who did it 8 years ago am a perfectionist and with these cars I expect nothing but the best so front wings resprayed stone chips removed from the front back rear arches treated and fully resprayed and then the alloys refurbed again as a few of yous seen last year its already in great nic but not good enough for me not good a threads but will keep the forum informed!!! Trying to fit all that in whilst making arrangements to get married this year!!

If you do a search about the PS pump you will find that a lot of us have bought exchange reconditioned pumps which have failed very quickly, beware!
