Hey guys and welcome back yo the channel.
Its been a while sense i uploaded any content, although Im documenting lots of jobs, but post the COVID pandemic I have no time to edit the videos.
Power steering pump leaks are very common across all saabs, easy to do on some models and harder on others, this is a pump from a last generation V6 powered saab, famous for leaking from the front seal, second common leak is the inlet pipe oring, and less common to leak from the outlet fitting oring, so we are replacing these three.
There are two seals that you can be lucky to source from a matching VW pump, but these never go bad, the same pump was installed in some late 90s VWs and early 2000.
The front seal dimensions are 17x30x7mm.
The other o-rings are common sizes found in any oring kit, u can match these at the part store, i go with feeling and to make sure they fit and seal.
Cleanliness is the most important part of this job, clean the pump and all the part, i missed out to show the filter screen at the bottom of the valve, make sure it is very clean.
Inspect all the parts for scoring and abandon the pump if there are any.
Make sure the valve moves freely but snug and doesn't stick.
Finally, use your own method to extract the retaining clip, but make sure u reshape it if it got deformed and it must be snug to the shaft.
Finally, it is almost impossible to video The removal and installation of the pump, you have to remove the belt after you relieve the tensioner, remove the top air ducts and filter housing, And when u try to extract the pump u might have to wiggle the engine by a big pry bar to get enough clearance, If extra clearance was required, then support the engine by a jack and remove the right engine mount.
Enjoy the video.
