Power steering pump

[olliecampbell]

So my power steering pump pulley is wobbling and squeaking, it gets better when warmed up but definitely needs doing.

This looks like a non-standard pump, so it's been replaced at some point....

The fluid isn't red, which is good, but it's also not green (which I thought CHF11S was). When checking the levels there seems to be some sediment on the dipstick....

I've got 4 litres of CHF11S on order, but need to have a plan for the pulley.

Is it a waste of time trying to remove the pulley and reseat it?
Is there an easily replaceable bearing in the pulley that might resolve the issue?

After a bit more research I’ve decided to order a 2nd hand one with 12 month warranty. It was nearly as cheap as the pulley removal tool. Seems like a no brainer!

Yes get it replaced as soon as possible. If the aux belt comes off, it could wind round the cam belt and trash the engine.

Replaced my pump a couple of years ago. As I recall there were two different diameter pulleys to choose from.

Thanks. After reading many similar stories I did exactly that. Replaced with a decent used example this weekend:
