Thread: TD5 POWER STEERING PUMP

G'Day Michael,

I have a 10,000lb Hydaulic winch on my Td5 power steering, have had it on 4 different vehicles and would not have anything else ! I did look at running a power pack and even did the exercise of pricing up the parts, but it was costly and it lost one of the main advantages of having a hydraulic winch, it used power again !!
The man you need to talk to in Perth is Ian "Brute" on here, he is the hydraulic specialist and and advise and sell you anything you need, he is in Welshpool!, PM me if you need more info !

Cheers

Does anyone know what the flow output of the PAS should be?

Thanks,

I have a hydraulic winch fitted to my disco, found it ok but slow then fitted a hydraulic pump to the back of the transfer case with the power steering pump at max pressure 100 bar (1400 psi) the flow is down to 8.5 ltr/min I think at max flow rates it is around 12 ltrs/min.

after fitting and adjusting the pressure relief valve at 3200psi was getting around 70 ltrs/min at 1800 rpm checked with a flow meter from work I had to strengthen the mounts for the winch.
