Hey up,
(TD5 03 auto)
Can you ‘slide’ the PAS pump out from within its housing? Or do you need to fully remove the housing on top of it?
The few YouTube videos I’ve found on the subject (bar Atlantic British’s fantastic tutorial on the petrol) all take out the housing above the pump, and all of the rigmarole that goes along with that (coolant hoses, bits of the turbo system ((modulator?)) attached to that housing etc). I have been too daunted to do that (should I grow a pair and get on with it?) however I was just reading the Haynes and they imply you can just sort of slide it forwards and out (with fan, belt, pulley bolts all out of the way) can you do that?
Either way re above, anyone have any advice about this job?
Situation is, my PAS ‘went’ after a few days of loud noise and many months of a quiet noise whilst turning (my bad - only had it less than a year). Leaked all a the fluid out, has leaked anything else I’ve put in. Reservoir is empty, I’ve been driving it without PAS. I have assumed it’s the pump and/or the gravity fed hose to the pump (as opposed to the pressurized one apparently that’s a bugger to change?). Thoughts? I’ve bought an OEM pump and hose to replace it but have been stumped by the above newbie inertia.
Cheers everyone!
