Jake Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Does anyone know if the power steering pump from a NA is the same as the one for a TT? My local breakers haven't got any TTs in at the moment. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 jake if you've not had a definite reply by the time i get home i can do a quick visual inspection of both which may be able rule it out instantly. However if the plumbing is similar etc then it won't help much...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 er it doesn't look likely! reservoir on an NA pretty much sits on top of the pump (almost like its integrated with it), and is not mounted to the inner wing. Difficult to be 100% as the reservoir on the NA could feasibly mount on the same opening as the large bore pipe that exits the same area and leads to the reservoir on a TT. I'll try and find some NA engine bay shots to help out...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinelm Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 The part no.s for the NA and TT pump assemblies are different, as the NA has the reservoir attached, the TT has it mounted on the wing. I think that some of the parts of the actual pump are the same for both, but not all are common. It's probably easiest if you grab a TT pump, unless you're up for stripping it down!

Chris Wilson Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 N/A and TT PAS pumps are quite different. I have a good used TT pump for sale here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 Thanks Chris, I'm still trying to establish exactly where the noise is coming from. I thought it was the PS pump but I'm beginning to suspect the noise is coming from the pully/pump that is directly below the PS pump. I know it's a stupid question but what is that one? The power steering pump is the top one, nearest the battery, right? What does that one do? It seems to have some sort of clutch, ie it can free-wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 It's the AC pump pulley below the PS pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a bit of a bugger to change. I've found one on a NA at a local breakers but I've got to take it off myself though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 What's the noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Jake, take the belt off and start the engine, don't run itfor long though as there will be no coolant flow. 3 minutes at most. See if the noise has gone. Could be the belt itself is noisy, some makes don't "get on" with the 2JZ-GTE engine and make terrible noises. Try a gates one if you think it is the belt itself. To test the belt spray the belt with WD40 with engine idling. If noise immediately goes it's the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hi Chris, Actually I've already replaced the belt with a Gates one but it hasn't helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Originally posted by tbourner What's the noise? Can you describe it for me please? It might be similar to mine. We could always meet I suppose but mine stops after it's been running for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I stripped the one on my N/A apart and replaced the bearings in it and the main body ie working parts of it looks very very similar to the one on my TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 25, 2004 Author Share Posted December 25, 2004 Well the power steering pump has completely seized up now and of course the car is undriveable. I have a good used TT pump for sale here. Do you still have this available please Chris? Can you let me know a price including carriage? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
