I thought you said the faulty pump was from Scoobybits?

Ian (DaOne) · Post by **Ian (DaOne)** » Thu Jun 12, 2008 12:17 pm

it was

so far what has happened is

pump 1.
scoobybits arrived with broken wire, and bolt broken off in mounting point.
am still awaiting a refund from them. I had to pay

That's quite a catalogue of bad luck.

I've had a few bits from Scoobybits with no problems. I did get a complete manifold from them once and when it arrived the wiring loom and fuel pipes had been cut through. When I phoned to tell Jase who just said sorry, I'll send another, which he did.

at a guess, can you think of anything else that my power steering can be?

There's only the rack after the pump.

Ian (DaOne) · Post by **Ian (DaOne)** » Thu Jun 12, 2008 3:20 pm

any other way i can test the rack out?

when the engine is running (car is parked) i am getting a good flow in the pas header tank from the return pipe.
when on full lock, the flow stops, and you get the noise from the pas like normal

but when the engine heats up, the flow from the pas header return pipe as a dribble, and if you rev the engine the flow returns for a little bit and so does the pas.

i have fully changed the fluid, i have unbolted the lines from the rack and forced out the old fluid by going lock to lock (engine not running)

have tried different fluids, dexron III, not have drxron II in

sounds like the pump?
