'90 AUDI 100 HYDRAULIC PUMP PROBLEM

[AKAKAYE@aol.com]

I was looking through the answer net and saw your answer regarding hydraulic
pumps and pressures, dated 11/29/97, to bstrub@silverlink.net.

I'm currently having a problem with my Audi 100's hydraulic pump.  I have
tried to replace it two times, and each time after installing the
remanufactured pump, the front half of the pump cracks 30 seconds after the
car is started.

I'm curious to find out whether the accumulator is responsible for pressure
building and cracking the front half of the hydraulic pump.  Myself and my
mechanic are at our wits end!!

Any help you could provide would be VERY much appreciated, and I await your
response since I've been without my vehicle for over a week now.

Thanks for your time.
