    i haven't pulled one of these bearing out, are they sealed, if so sealed bearings normally don't have too much grease in them, if the plastic stuff sealing the bearing comes out easily you can put a bit of extra grease in them to extend there life, i havn't done this with these bearing but did it on a mowing deck with success.

    They are sealed but once you have drilled some holes in the circlip for removal it isn't a big problem

    nope Tdi steering pump is a special animal
    they cost $300 ISH
    wife did one driving home, got home saying car smelt funny burning smell & steering went heavy
    Bearing had colapsed taken out the seal & all the oil was gone WHAT! why did she keep driving? (answer is FEMALE)

    being tight and poor a few years back I tried to replace the bearings in it, but was't happy with the PS wine after
    so I did it again (thinking I had damaged a bearing or set to much preload) still noisey
    woried it would die again somewhere I then I bought a new one
    Bit of a sh*t to get out, esp having to take off hose and drain oil down your arm
    unfortunately once you've done it afew times you get quicker at it
    water pump is way easier

    what sort of fluid Inc ?
    The Caltex Cold Climate/PAS14315 dedicated PS fluid used in later models and the ACE system has a couple of anti-noise additives in it to stop pump squeal and moan that normal ATF doesn't posses. (although the Transmax Z ATF I'm cvurrently using is dead quiet, too)
    I've been able to buy a 4 litres from dealers a couple of times now, as Caltex used to only sell it in 20l drums.
    Could it be worth a fluid change ?

    I have replaced the bearings in a number of 300Tdi idler/tensioner pulley and they all had C-clips not circlips and there is no way that you could drill holes in them, as they were lucky to be 2.5mm wide.

    I file or grind a groove in the the hub - down to the outside of the c-clip groove. This is easier at the gap between the ends of the c-clip.

    Then tap the c-clip around so that one end is under the newly created groove, where you can lever it out with the blade of a small screwdriver.
