The PAS pump on my 98 1.9td is making a really annoying whining and when I make tight right hand turns I can feel the pump cutting out intermittently.

Is a refurb an easy job or would I be better just replacing it with a spare?

Cheers

From memory, it was three long bolts holding the pump in a very low bracket, best accessed from under the van. I seem to recall the power steering belt is the outermost one, so no probs there either.
Thats of course assumes that all the engines are similar.

hi there the pump does have three bolts and the belt is the outer one and the system will not require bleedig just fill and turn the wheel from left to right the cheapest i found was euro car parts
