RE: Hyd Pump...

[Duncan Cameron <lmcdncn@LMC.Ericsson.SE>]

Hi Audidudes,

Is there anyone out there who knows where the best place to
get a new/rebuild power steering pump for a 5000. I live in
Montreal, and there seems to be little choice for getting
parts around here. I could go to NY or VT to get these parts.
Does anyone know if there is a PAP local to me?


My pump just started leaking big time, its is esp bad when
you go to full lock on the steering. The strange thing is
that it seems to have gotton worse each time I fill the
resevoir, I am using Pentosin CHF 7.1. It seems that the
pump is leaking from an internal source and it is escaping
from a joint in the middle of the pump housing.
