    help, pas replacement, no pressure

    Replaced the power steering pump on my 2000 V8 D2 this morning. Followed the instructions on rave disc to bleed but am having no luck. If I move wheel from lock to lock , even with bleed screw right out I get nothing. When the vehicle is switched off the fluid will then seep out. Steering is heavier than an old HQ. What have I done????

    Is the fluid moving around in the container? It should be moving around pretty aggressively.

    Did you put the belt back on?

    yep, belt back on and in correct position. the fluid does move around and out the top, even at minimum line. when I start motor and go full lock to full lock it'll overflows a bit, but nothing forced out of bleed nipple. Soon as engine stops the fluid drains back down and out bleed nipple? is this new pump a dud?

    Are you turning the wheel both ways to full lock. I only changed my power steering pump the other week and I found when turning it one way, nothing came out the bleed nipple, when turning it the other it shot up like a volcano.

    yep, full lock both ways. After cleaning the fluid off the vehicle and the driveway, I have a leak from the low pressure pipe at the pump. It was very soft, maybe a blockage in this pipe/somewhere?

    Thinking I might have to pull it all apart again and check pipes.

    Could be the suction pipe collapsing on itself and blocking flow.
