Also has anyone got loan of the proper factory tool for the big crosshead on the power steering pump ? Don't want to use a hammer and chisel. Can give a full cost deposit, so no risk.
Or a link to where I can buy one ?
I wouldn't mind a heads to where to get the proper tool for the large cross head as well, would be useful to have.1989 B3 2.0 3A 80 quattro... Budget 1.8T Project.

Changed the pump and the bomb then flushed the system this afternoon, sorted, no more annoying bing and the brakes are a touch better to boot. No more weepy pump either, guess the issue was the bomb despite it passing the pedal test.
The brake fluid level sender was part of the initial problem, but with the fluid on max it's now fine, if it's below half way between the min and max it triggers when coming to a stop.1989 B3 2.0 3A 80 quattro... Budget 1.8T Project.

I've got a brand new X-head plug & seal if you need one Kit
Easy test to see if the bomb or servo are causing the warning is unplug the two spades on the pressure switch on the servo - if so it will stop the warningPanthero Coupé quattro 20vt

The tool for removing the 'X' head plug is a drag link socket. Hardware store should have it or ebay http://www.core77.com/blog/tools/too..._bit_24121.asp

soak the x-plug seal overnite in PS fluid first....don't overtighten the x-plug, ....too much torque tears the seal and will weep again ( Phil Payne told me all that RIP )
I used a cold chisel with same blade width as the plug 'x' , turned with a mole grip, one hand on top of chisel , job was/is still a good one
