    Is this normal axial play on a new PAS pump?

    Hi all,

    Just bought a new TRW steering pump for my RS2.
    Took it out of the box, and it has this amount of axial play... is that normal??

    my vag parts one did that when i got it ages ago at £600 new. Worried me at the time but it's still going strong so i wouldn't worry too much. Once the pulley is mounted and the belt running through it I doubt it moves much more than a couple mm anyway.

      That's a relief

      Thing is, my current pump also has that.
      Will certainly make sure to clean my fluid lines before mounting them. Is there a filter anywhere up the system that could be blocked that anyone knows of?
