Looks like my power steering pump is on its way out! I’m getting a fairly big leak coming from it. My question is, people who’ve replaced them, have they bought there’s from icp? Or have they bought a cheaper one without any issues ?. Normally I’d buy OEM with everything I can but they cost £600 from ICP

 

I've not used the ICP one but a generic £120 job from eBay wasn't really up to the task of all the increased caster I had on the car alongside sticky tyres and would overheat (you could feel the inconsistent feel from it once it warmed up). I'd be inclined to go for a good second hand one, or rebuild yours with fresh o-rings. Out of interest, where's the leak coming from?

 

its all leaking from behind the timing casing and going onto the manifold which is creating a strong smell aswell as burning fluid!. It’s the pressure valve. Was hoping it would be the o rings but I think I’m gonna just replace it unless the guy I’m going to can save it by rebuilding it

 

If you google you can actually find replacement pressure switches as they unscrew from the back of the pump. Probably a half hour job to replace it if you know what you're doing? The alternative is just to reseal it with some instant gasket.

 

The garage tried a sealant but it hasn’t worked mate!. They said that I may need a new one if it happens again!….few days later…it has!

 

If not buying new and I wanted another Good replacement it would be from mattybr the breaker on here his price, postage and communications are 👌

give him a call👍

 

ive asked him mate but he doesn’t have one for mine

 

Is it bug or blob you've got?

 

It’s a hatch mate

 

Have seen a few rebuilt ones around on Ebay not sure how good they will be.

 

Hopefully my mapper/builder might have one lying around when I go to see him next week
