Refurbishing a Power Steering Pump
Just removed my leaking power steering pump from my MGZT-T - Diesel 135.
Having difficulty finding an exact match for my pump QVB 000 330 Has anybody successfully rebuilt one of these with a seal kit, and are any special tools required? Regards Larry |

Hi Suzu - Yes I called them this morning. They don't have one for the ZT Diesel, only for the KV6 petrol models.
They also don't sell sealing kits, although looking at the pump it looks very difficult to see how you would open the pump up given it has no bolts or nuts to allow you to get into it. Still searching but finding the QVB 000 330 model is proving difficult. I could take a flyer and order an old used pump, but given the amount of effort involved in the job, I fear that would be counterproductive should the replacement part be faulty or fail soon after reassembly.

Ed, Thanks for the list, seen some of these.
The last two I think would be a risk. On the first one - I was hoping not to pay as much as £180 the 2nd and 3rd states not compatible with my vehicle spec - which is strange as they show the 131 diesel in the list of compatible vehicles - I'll send each a message and try to get a better understanding of the compatibility. Regards Larry |

I have vague feeling that different power steering pumps were fitted to early and late diesels. May be someone can qualify this one way or the other. macafee2 |

According to DMGRS this morning you are probably right - there are some with fixed pipes and some with removable pipes - mine I think is the latter.
I can't see how this pump is refurbished as there is no way to split the body - there is a rubber seal on the flat surface that sits to the side facing inwards to the centre of the car but there is no obvious way as to how this is removed and effectively sealed on replacement. There are no splits or joins in the pump body and no screws / bolts or plates to unscrew to get into it. |

With something as important as a steering component, I would spend the money on a new - in fact exactly what I did some years ago - or buy S/H only from a trusted trader.
