Hello guys, I'm trying to find a guide for how to replace a power steering pump on a 2004 VW GLX Passat with the v6 30v B5 engine. Is there anything like that, or maybe a universal sticky i could use as a guide?

my best suggestion, is to spend the 20$ and get a repair manual for your car, they are handy to have around. you can get them at most auto part stores.

Okay, I really am interested in starting up a career in this field. So Thank you very much for showing me that

I did mine on my chevy PU it was fairly basic. The only special tool you will most likely need is a pulley puller. I would run new pressure and return lines while you are there. Also I would try to flush out your steering box or any place residual old fluid may be to make sure no debris clog's up the new pump.

and +1 on getting a manual..you will thank us later

i personally use a turkey baster to get the majority of the fluid out, way easy

or you could crack the line and turn the wheel to push the fluid, but that can/does make a mess.



i also, would replace the pressure lines

If it's rack and pinion (which it should be) I would replace the pump and any hoses that look sketchy and leave it at that. If you start introducing air into the steering rack itself you can cause yourself a lot of trouble.

bench bleed nigga bench bleed

So you want him to take his steering rack off to replace the pump?


That's going around your ass to get to your elbow
