I had a fella ask me about buying my hydraulic pump off me.
The pump I have available is off my old 94 1.9TD LX, has two metal hydraulic pipes going to and from and a larger bore rubber hose.
The guy only has one metal pipe attached to his. He said he went to a scrappy and they tried to sell him one like mine with 2 metal pipes and just told him to block one off. Now that sounded a bit dodgy to me!!
Surely there is a reason for the difference? Do both pipes just run off one chamber and can be blocked off as necessary? If so then i have a sale!![:D]
Cheers.
Xantia Hydraulic pump.

There are two types of pump fitted to the Xantia, one is a single outlet pump (which needs an flow divider valve if the car has power steering) and the double outlet pump which does not.
The two outlets on a double outlet pump are not connected, one is serviced by 6 pistons (for the power steering), the other has 2 pistons (for the suspension / brakes etc). They are variable outlet pumps but I'm not sure what the effect of blanking off one of the outlets would be.

Don't Pleiades in Sawtry (near Huntingdon UK)do fairly cheap exchange ones?
