There is a plastic piece inside the pump that often fails. Here's how to fix it (post from VWvortex):
golf914 wrote: what you need
11mm,13mm socket. T25 Torx, Power Steering Fluid(G 002 012)
1.remove hydraulic PUMP from car.
disconnect power cable. and use T25 Torx two unbolt next to hydraulic lines. just pull lined. it came out.
2.remove a power moter from PUMP ues T25 Torx.
3.so you see this plastic piece and piece of metal(top of pic)
you can see plastic piece is crack. this is stupid VW did not sale this piece. so you need buy all motor+pump and it is $800
so i just make piece of metal little more thick and bend each side.
insert plastic piece. glue it.
That IT. it is working fine now.
so you will spend$800 :screwy:
Sorry my english not so good but hope help!!!
P.S you can use plastic piece VW Parts #1E0871687

I have this exact problem too. Unfortunately the images from this solution have been removed. Does anyone have a 'how to' guide for repairing this problem? An even more simplified solution would be greatly appreciated i.e how to locate and remove the pump, where to but the replacement parts, etc. I live in Glasgow, Scotland.
Thanks in advance :) |
