Folks,
Have 1.8 16V '95 Xantia (not Activa....non a/con)
-
In process of sourcing replacement pump.
-
Appreciate any advice with regards to changing this....(fearing worst, considering that took me 7 hours to change my steering pinion valve last May!)
-
Please give me some brief pointers, if you can.
-
Many Thanks, Steve

Are the petrols like the DERV's, were as the HP pump is on the sump without air con, and up above the alintator with Air con?
Anyway, 95, she SHOULD have anti sink which is a VERY GOOD thing, because with the car in high or normal on these, you can actually remove the Pump WITH THE SYSTEM UNDER PRESSUE, because the anti sink valves stop any return..
Ive just changed one on my mums HDi with anti sink, pointers, you'll need a DAMM good 12mm spanner, or pipe union spanner to undo the two 12mm unions on the pump, these get VERY tight for some reason, they are a standard flare too...
Pump is held on by two bolts, one under the pump with a 6mm allen head, goes right through to the other side and has a threaded spacer which doubles up to secure the pipes to the pump, it WILL draw out through one of the holes in the pully, its designed to.. the other is on the pipe side and is at the top right side ofthe pump... slacken the two pipes and remove the LHM feed pipe first, then when you've undone the two bolts unscrew the unions and lift the pump away..
Oooppss, remove Aux belt first, unfortunally, on Petrols im not familliar with the tensioning of them..

Paul,
Many thanks for taking the time to respond.

I wonder what the advantage is of leaving under pressure while doing the job.....it will still be up on axle stands.
I have 6 spheres total....may be wrong here, but, understand that the central rear one is anti-sink, and front central the " buffer" one, or whatever it's called, to keep residual pressure in system for long enough to brake once, if all pressure fails.
yes...pump down at sump level.
-
How hard is it to remove pulley from pump?? (wondering what the best way is considering don't wish to mangle pulley in vice)
-
Mr Vertvega....tks for that...cannot see pics as red "x" symbol...may have more luck when get home.
-
Tks, Again!!

Nothing really, but if your pump is low mounted infront of the sump it leaves space to get under with a Jack... The suspension stays up so it just prevents non access under the car IF NEEDED!!
The Pullys DO NOT come off easyilly AT ALL, I beleve But could wrong, they are head shrunk on, but Im not certain, never had to take a pully off as the holes are large enough to get the long bolt out...
Yes you do have anti sink then, the one on the front, the buffer is just as important as the 4 corner ones, as its also known as the Regulator Sphere, Accumilator Sphere, or Brake reserve sphere...

I normally buy a good Britool Ring spanner on special for a quid at my tool store. Put it in vice and cut the slot out with 4" angle grinder ........cheap as chips. You can hacksaw it if you want to avoid heat.
