Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 6m 1d Posted 02/05/14 10:39 AM Share Posted 02/05/14 10:39 AM Pic will do the talking, Oil sprayed all over the motor in between turbo and power steering pump. Pump is a little noisey but nothing majorI initially thought head gasket but a mate told me it probably isnt and possible power steering pump is on its way out?if it is what's the best option for a replacement? There's one on ebay that's a reconditioned genuine one for $150 posted, or should I try a low km one off a wreck?

If so that's what it is. No biggie about $200 I think and easy to change over. I had to replace one in my old BA Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88150-stuffed-power-steering-pump/#findComment-1468992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pulley has been a bit noisey in recent times aswellNah not enough doughnuts. Car has seen a few powerskids but never seen a doughnut (in my possession anyway)Cheers Kosij I'll double check its the pump and give them a call monday morning!

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 6m 1d Posted 06/05/14 09:15 AM Author Share Posted 06/05/14 09:15 AM Had a ford mechanic look at it today and he thinks the pump seems to be alright, he thought it's more likely to be the timing case leaking :/Never heard of that being an issue, is that a common ford problem? It's only the smallest amount of oil because the oil level has never dropped on me Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88150-stuffed-power-steering-pump/#findComment-1469795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power steering oil got a different smell compared to engine oil.

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 6m 1d Posted 07/05/14 12:30 AM Author Share Posted 07/05/14 12:30 AM Yea I don't have a decent pressure washer available here in canberra, will have to wait till I go home next. Power steering feels fine and not using any oil so hopefully nothing too bad Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88150-stuffed-power-steering-pump/#findComment-1469941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
