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.

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 )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 .

I'll full back on the old adage "A little knowledge is a bad thing" .

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.

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-)
