Clarification: I meant a check valve in that part of the pump. The huge
(about 70mm x 2mm) O-ring, that seals the two halves of the pump IS
included in the big repair kit ( 026 198 049 B). There is also a small
kit, that has the cap seals only, but IMHO if you go through a trouble
of taking the P/S pump off the car and taking it apart, you might as
well do it right and replace the maximum of rubber components.
The only check valves that I've found there were the small ones,
accessible from the outside. They have a 5mm Allen socked head and are a
real b*tch to get out. I had to soak them in Liquid Wrench and break
loose with the impact driver.
