Were are you from? Iv got a bleed box that you can lend if your local..... and how much did you pay?

 

[rev.chris]

im down in devon, but thanks for the offer,

i had 3 pipes, 1 new 2 second hand, for £70
and the refurb of pump,

total cost was £783 thought it was only gonna be around £400/£500,

 

[rev.chris]

just gotta get some atf fluid now, anyone know how much it'll take to refill it, not sure how much to buy

A litre should do you, are you changing the diff side as well as the pump side?

 

[rev.chris]

not sure, i guess it would be a good ideal to drain the diff out wile im doing it.

Yes that's what I did when I reconed my pump. Don't forget there are 2 different oils that are on the diff side, Ayc side with ATF oil and the other side with the gear oil.

 

[rev.chris]

oh right, i thought it was all the same, i was told to bleed the ayc from 2 bleed nipples on the diff

 

[rev.chris]

well i put some atf in today, and its pissing out all over the floor, cant really see where its coming from, seems to be between pump, and the plate its bolted to, will have a better look when its off,

 

[rev.chris]

right well i got the pump back off, after having a propper look i can see what looks like a solenoid has broke off, not f**king happy at all, just spent £700 to have a broken pump sent back,

 

[Smokey]

O dear, not after you spent £700

Do you have a bleed box? When I did my pump I took the reservoir off and connected it all up off the car to make sure the pump was bleed and working. The little bleed boxes work a treat.

 

[rev.chris]

think i might invest in one, i'll give matey a ring tomorrow, hopefully the postage cover will pay up to sort this.

 

[rev.chris]

where do you get these bleed box's from.

 

[Smokey]

where do you get these bleed box's from.

Have you got a fresh pump now?

Where in the world are you?

 

[rev.chris]

well yes and no really, sent the broken solenoid back, and he fixed it and sent it back. put it all back together and on the car, topped up with fluid and left waiting to get bled, then found a pool of fluid a few days later. took all of and setup on bench with reservoir to find one of the other solenoids is leaking, lsot interest in the car now, but thought if i buy a bleed box it might get me motivated again. im in okehampton devon

 

[andyw08]

I got my bleed box off here, a guy called svengali....well his names dan i think but thats his user name..... if you look in the for sale section and look for ayc pump rebuild kits its the same guy

 

[rev.chris]

got one from him now, all good thanks
