schott1984 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hey real quick, anyone know where there's a tutorial for replacing the PSpump on SC400? I was driving to work today, and when I got here, it's making all kinds of racket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schott1984 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 One more thing. It's almost lunch time, and I'm going to check the fluid. Is it bad for the pump (or anything else I guess) to drive it if it's low/out of fluid to get back home/to store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSam Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 It usually won't make noise unless its out of fluid. I wouldn't recommend using it without fluid which takes Automatic Transmission Fluid (Dextron III). Are there any leaks that you can see? Try running engine with the cap off it & turn wheel back & forth all the way a few times & see if you see air bubbles. If not then it may be something else wrong with the pump, how long have you had it? http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/steering/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schott1984 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 I've had it a little more than a month. It's leaking slowly. I've known since a few days after I got it. I suppose I should try and find out exactly where it's leaking from shouldn't I? I know it is getting on the alternator, because it has goopy dust on it.

It'll ruin the alternator and you'll have to replace both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schott1984 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Ya, I am aware of that. Trying to decide if it's worth rebuilding the pump, or if I should spend the extra $100+ to get a reman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
