e30 Power Steering Pump Rebuild Tutorial!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лип 2024
- This is a step by step tutorial on rebuilding the ZF vane style power steering pump that came in the e30, e32, e34, e36, and many others. The rebuild kits are inexpensive, only about $40 from BMW, however, make sure to grab the part number or pump manufacturer off of the pump BEFORE you order your rebuild kit, as there are several different pumps that are all compatible with these cars and they all look identical until you go to install your radial shaft seal and it's the wrong size. The tools you'll need are a 13mm wrench or socket, and a pair of c clip pliers! should only take 30-60 minutes to complete the entire rebuild once it's off the car! Stop procrastinating and do this one already!

Currently working in a 535is with the same pump thank you for this video!!
This is exactly how I thought I had to replace it on my own e30 thanks!!
Happy to help you manifest your energy in your own shitbox collection!
@@adventure406 I'm in my lane, focused, flourishing, thriving. my ice chai tea helps me through any vehicular task!!!!
Hope to see more E34 content! I'm in the process of restomoding my 95 e34. Planning on repainting the engine bay pretty soon.
Thanks! I have content filmed but have been busy with my big boy job so haven’t had time to put it together. I’ve been driving my e34 since late January, paint is done and the thing looks ethereal.
Any chance to get the title of the jazz hip hope song? It’s hitting the spot. Thx
I will have to do some digging, I’m pretty sure I downloaded it online somewhere free
After the rebuild, is there any resistance when spinning? I have som resistance when i try to spin mine😅
There should be a tiny bit, but not too much. You should be able to spin it by hand
What part of the pump causes it to whine, does something wear out?
Are you happy with the racingdiff lsd kit on your e34?? Is it the money worth??
I’ve got 4000 road miles on it and I have no complaints
Great vid! Thanks for the refresher, I was able to knock it out in 15 minutes.
Can you provide the repair kit part number and where to order it
Check the body of your pump to see what manufacturer it is. If it is a Vickers pump you will need 32411133023, if it’s a ZF pump you will need 32411135880. Both kits can be found at any online bmw kits retailer or directly from the dealer.
Does a part of the pump wear out if it is making a whine noise & how can you fix that?
Typically they make the whine noise because they are leaking somewhere and cavitating from air being in the system. Considering the cost of the rebuild kit it’s worth having a go at it and you can inspect the internals once inside. The internals don’t usually wear, but sometimes the shaft bearing can wear out, which will show up as play in the pulley before disassembly.
@@adventure406 Thanks for the info
I wonder why mine doesn't work after I rebuilt mine. Is the reservoir fluid supposed to be bubbling around when the car is on? My fluid is just still and I turned the wheel lock to lock
When the car is running it should be clearly circulating fluid in the reservoir. There will be bubbles at first but they’ll eventually go away. As the system bleeds the air out
Bought another pump, but I realized I took the old drain plug out of mine and stuck another bolt in there because I messed up the drain plug. The bolt I stuck in there was too long blocking a passage. But I drilled it out because I also used jbweld. Going to re use the back half of this new pump and see what happens. Hope all goes well
How did you remove the “triangle” part which bolts the pulley?
It is the main shaft which goes through the pump, has a little circlip where the vanes are that has to be pushed out. Once you get the circlip off the shaft will pull right out
Thanks a lot for the answer mate
can you share repair kit no.?
I think you missed a big step, you didn’t pack the inside of the rubber bushing with grease. The shaft will be spinning dry inside and wear out the bushing.
I hand prime them with dex so there’s no dry starts
@@adventure406 lube isn’t going to get into the inside of the bushing. The bushing seals tight against the housing and the shaft, but inside they’re an empty void that needs to have special grease. It’s hard to explain, wish I could show you what I mean.
@@adventure406 how many miles have you put on since the rebuild? Just curious if there’s any leaks from the bushing pulley.
@@dohc1974 only a few hundred. No leaks yet still dry as a whistle. I used to be a dealer tech and I’ve done tons of these rebuilds with no come backs, so I’m confident in the process.
The seal has two elements, a sealing lip and dust lip. The grease between the dust lip and seal lip is mainly to stop contamination. The inner sealing lip will be lubricated by PS fluid
