My power steering is not working, I think its a fauly pump.
It only works when I accelerate. If I am not moving I put it into Neutral give it a few revs and the steering wheel moves easier. But this causes me to dry steer. >:(

I think you'll find these are electrically assisted so check you haven't blown a fuse :).

Yep! A 'new' pump is required! Various breakers here should be able to sort you out with another. Not too bad to change either. :y

There is an electric input, but if you need revs for it to work, I reckon it's the pump. ;)

I've seen a pump from a 1998 2.5 V6 for £20 "Buy It Now or Best Offer" and £5 Delivery. I might just offer £20 for it with delivery, depends if it works with my 2000 2.5 V6. :-?

I may be wrong Andy(usually am :-X)but if it needs revs. to work then i would have thought that that is when the pump is doing its bit but at idle the leccy bit would assist the pump due to low revs :-/.
-
That sounds a decent price, but the breakers on here will supply a guaranteed pump. just a thought.

Yes I have checked it, It's ok.

The pump does all the work. The electric bit reduces how much assistance the steering box provides as speed increases.

Ah right Andy H, but i did say I'm usually wrong :P ;D.

I'll full back on the old adage "A little knowledge is a bad thing" :-[. ;D

power steering pump is driven directly from the serpentine 'fan belt'/auxillary belt so ans Andy H says does all the work. You'd be right if it was an Astra G that has an electric power steering pump. :y

In my job the people who make the most expensive foul ups are the ones who are afraid to ask a question because they think it might make them look foolish.
I've settled for asking silly questions (because I can't afford to make expensive mistakes).

I'm not worried about looking foolish Andy H as like you say if you don't ask ?s, silly or not then how are you going to learn anything, and to me with what i knew about the P/S setup on a Mig what i said seemed to make sense to me anyway but was only trying to help and not be confusing :).

I'm wondering if a PAS Pump from a 1998 2.5 V6 would work on a 2000 2.5 V6. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanking youuuu 8-)

As far as I know, it's only the very late cars that have a different pump (different pipework too) but other than that a V6 pump is a V6 pump.

I see, there is only 2 years between them like. Can anyone else confirm if it would work?
