Power steering pump question.

[ted_one]

Are the power steering pumps the same across the range of models? say for instance are the 2.0/2.2 pumps the same as the 3.0/3.2 pumps.  TIA

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Nope. Don't know about the 4 pot versions, but later cars 2.6 / 3.2, were different to the earlier 2.5 / 3.0.

[ted_one]

Likely then, that those variations would apply to the 4 pots as well.

And there's the servotronic (or thereby lack of on 4 pots) as well.

I think that you can fit any V6 one to another V6, but the piping needs changing, too. (which offsets somewhat the £2 or whatever you've saved in getting the 'wrong' pump if you then have to source the associated pipes, too) 

[Bojan]

All X-gen petrols (2.0, 2.5 and 3.0) have the same PAS pump.
Diesel have diferent.
3.2 and 2.6 are another diferent model.

It doesn't matter if it is servotronic or not - that is in stearing head.

[biggriffin]

2.5/3.0 won't fit 2.6/3.2 and vice,versa.

Don't know about little ones.

Ooh, I always 'knew' that you needed different pipes, but the pumps were interchangeable between early and late V6s.. though I've never actually done it personally. Fair enough

Correct.

Ta Mr MigV6     The problem we, and of course a squillion other blokes before us have is discovering the difference between 'not the same part' and 'it won't fit'

I saved a few quid on my HTs by fitting Vectra ones, even though 'they're too short and won't fit'... but they do
