Thread: Td5 Power Steering Pump - HELP!

Guys, Im having an absolute shocker and need help!

Whilst driving home last night I started to hear this whurring noise at low revs and when i turned the car both ways. The steering did not seem heavy or lumpy. Once back home in the garage, I lifted the hood and could hear the noise very well once the wheel was turned slightly. It was late so i left it alone and now when I woke this morning my garage floor is now coated in power steering fluid as there is virtually nothing left in the reservoir.

I quickly jumped underneath and it looked as though there are two pipes/hoses relatively close together that were soaked in the PS fluid?

What I was hoping you guys could tell me is:

1. Would be the PSP? or would be something to do with the pipes/hoses?
2. How much for a new pump?
3. How much for new pipes/hoses

Many Thanks in advance.

P.S I have looked everywhere for an appropiate thread but cant find one.

I just replaced mine last week. Remove fan shroud/cover and have a look at the top of the pump, If this is wet then it will be the pump. Mine was leaking from between the pump segments. You could probably reseal if you are lucky but it will require a press to get the drive flnge off. A new pump will be around $400. If you have A/C it is a little bit fiddly to change. I left the coolant hose and A/C hoses connected. You just need to lift the compressor out of the way. Takes about 2 hours to change.
