MR2 Roadster (2000) Power Steering Pump

Anonymous · December 28, 2005, 11:56

My power steering (vain pump?) has just died on my 2000 W Reg MR2 just wondering whether anyone can give me any advice on how easy/hard these are to change yourself.

Symtoms : Power Steering doesnt work and warning light stays on.

Any help would be great including diagrams and availability.

Thanks

They are easy to change over. Make sure you have a 10mm pipe spanner though as the bolts round off very easily.

i just bought a mr2 Y REG and the power steering light came on
and the power steering went .i took it to a local dealer i have a
mate who works thier and he got it on the laptop cleared the fult.
bravo car was working fine but he said the only fault it cmae up]with was the electric motor is overheating.when i asked the part price £807
+ the vodka and tonic .Luckly i complained to toyota gb even
though my car is coming up to 5 years old i managed to get 50%
contribution out of them and the place i bought it from as the
car supermarket didnt want to know first but now agree to the
other 50%.The only thing is i have to pay for fitting luckly
my mate at the toyota dealer said to bring it in a saturday and
a tech will do the job 4 about £50 quid all in otherwise it
would have been £170inc ................result

The only thing i am worried about now is this precat scare ,when
i spoke to my mate at the main dealer he said he has not heard
of this or known any problems instead telling me to enjoy the car.
Thats all i ever hear from him "enjoy the car" as if its a film,
computer game or an attractive ladie.precats read all the points
confused -The car has 39k on the clock sounds great runs great
no problems except the power steering but precats --sounds scary.

That's what they all say! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Just read the first topic on this area and get rid of them. You might never had a problem with them, it doesn't happen to everyone, but why risk it? Take them off and then enjoy the car without worry... s8)

dont worry, do a search, all the info is on here, as long as they're removed theres no worries and its not a big job to do anyway. As for the pump, its just one of those things
