'91 200Q: Hyd. pump leaking ..
Well, it's happened ... a couple of weeks ago the brake
warning light on the 200Q lit up, and several of you
told me it was the hydraulic fluid level. Sure enough --
it has started to hemorrhage green gold.
(First thought -- oh no, it's the rack. Felt around the
boots, looked carefully: clean as a whistle.)
Looks like the hydraulic pump is leaking. The same thing
happened on my '85 5KT a couple of years ago (but with more
than 100K on the clock!) and I replaced the pump -- easy
job, so I'm not too worried about tackling it again. Looking
to save money, is it worth trying to replace the seals? Anyone
done it?
BTW, the pump's a ZF with a green label.
Any tips appreciated!
