VIL Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Can anyone help? Just having the steering pump changed on the Supra. I had a problem with the steering going heavy and a lot of noise coming from the pump when put lock to lock. Managed to get a second hand pump that the garage have fitted to the car but apparently the steering is no better and its now just forcing all the fluid out of the reservoir? Can anyone advise as to what might be causing the problem? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 It's probably the small filter in the bottom of the reservoir that's gummed up and preventing fluid circulating around and back into the pump. Because it's not being drawn back in (blocked filter) the reservoir overflows. Take the reservoir off and clean it out with petrol, gently using a paint brush on the filter. Once dry, refit and refill. It should be OK then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
