Ok so ive had the underside of my 3Dr to bits and ive replaced the power steering rack and put it all back together and now my power steering isnt working, ive tryed replacing the belt as wishfull thinking. When i start the car theres no noise from anywhere and the pump wheel spins freely.
Im hoping ive just put the pipes in the wrong way from the pump, does anyone have a photo of the fluid in location on the rack?

Hi Mate,
can i buy it off you ? i just need the steering rack.

I would send you a PM

Hi SGP. You don't need a new rack just to fix the leaks. You can get rebuild kits for them. The 2WD Saph rack is common with a Volvo 740 of the same time. IE - the seals, boots etc...are the same. I had mine reco'd here in Melbourne using a Volvo kit. The steering place I used cross referenced the rack details and presto we had a kit.

Can anyone have a look for me please and tell me if the feed from the pump is in the correct hole in the rack

dissmalrs

Looks the same as the one iv got mate. And the pip I'm holding is from the pump

Is fluid circulating through the res? If so you can be pretty certain the pump is ok

Have you bled the system with cap off turning lock to lock?

When the engine is running the fluid in the bottle used to move about but now it stays still, i think the pump might be broke

Yes mate.


Anyone know where to get a new or recon pump?

Some people run electric pumps off an A Class Merc and plumb that in but Jay found his burnt out so I think the electrics need a controller as they were designed to run at variable speeds do to load etc. They are about £120 on ebay and look pretty simple.
