yayayay..
i know change the inlet o-ring from the reservoir.


i did that the other day but i still seem to be having a weird noise coming from my pump. the noise is substantially better now compared to before i replaced the o-ring, but im still having a weird kind of gurgle sound being emitted.

im pretty sure the pump is fine, i still have full steering with no resistance.


any ideas acurazine?????

 

any one know if there is another part listed on the tsb?
the links dont seem to be working for me

 

If you're getting air in the system, it may be coming from a seal other than the inlet o-ring. GuitarPlayer16 (iirc) did a good DIY on rebuilding the PS pump which replaces all the rubber seals and o-rings. There is a link on this page: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-tl-garage-faq-3g-tl-newbies-553554/

As far as the TSB access, you have to follow the access instructions Ron A posted before the TSB links will work. Go to the link below for the instructions and the TSB links.

Thank you sir!
Time for a rebuild !

 

start by doing cheaper things....

replace the o-ring....hope that will take care of the noise....also do a PS flush....

i already replaced the inlet o-ring about 3-4 days ago.
i did not try flushing my system though. i mite do this as well.
i wouldnt mind rebuilding all the seals inside the pump for my own personal satisfaction. lol

 

^^^ i would try the flush first....i am guessing there might be some air in the system....

with the car on, check if you see bubbles in the PS reservoir....if you do, then do the rebuilt before you do a flush....if no bubbles, then flush first....

 

thank u sir.
will flush tomorrow pending weather ( canadian winter )

 

^^^ hahahaha....yeah i know what you mean....

am in Kansas and the mods are waiting for the weather to get warmer....

LOL yah man
i woke up to like 5 cm of snow lol
but yah i went n checked the p.s reservoir today and they are still bubbles being formed.
even though i changed the black o ring to the orange inside the inlet to the power steering pump.

so i guess im gonna be doing a rebuild this weekend lol
would that stop air from entering the system?

 

^^^ most prolly....

air in the system means there is a leak somewhere.....u got the TSB done recently right ? just take her back to the dealership and explain your disappointment....see what they can do for you.....

if they dont do shizzz then do the rebuilt urself....

 

^^

lol well i didnt really get the tsb taken care of...
i replaced the inlet (#13) o ring myself.

is there any other items other then that single inlet o ring i should consider replacing before i rebuild the pump?

i have a 07 type s 6speed 77760 miles

 

^^^ bah my bad....i should have asked you this before....

some models were called in for a TSB which was for the PS pipe insulation....make sure your car is not within the vins.....if it is, take it in and have them look into it....

 

All '07 Type-S are excluded from that recall.

 

^^^ Database updated

 

ohhh....
so how can i pin point the air leak?

 

I would suggest check the 2 hoses (return/supply) in the reservoir....if they are nice and snug, i suggest a PS pump rebuild...

 

okay !

thank you sir !

 

^^^ no problem buddy....keep posting them updates
