Power steering pump fitting??

[Ritch]

Help and advice needed folks.

My power steering pump appears to be pissing out fluid at the pulley end. Does any one know if there is a seal in that area of the pump which commonly goes or am I dealing with a rare fault?

I've searched previous threads and noted new pumps cost about 230 notes and I'll probably need to get a new aux belt and pulley. I'll sort a new belt but as all the belts and pulleys were changed less than 10k miles ago do I need to change the pulley?

If any one can point me in the direction of a fitting guide, would be much appreciated.

Cheers all.

oooo nice sounds just the job I'll have a looky. Did you find it tricky to remove from the car? It looks pretty well tucked away and a right pig to get to ha is anything easy to get to on a clio sport??

They can be a little tricky like i had the rads out when took it off wich made the job a lot easier ,

i did one this week, easy enough with the bumper off. New pumps need a new flange also, which has to be pressed with a special tool into the right position. I've bought the tool as renault pressed the flange on wrong for me twice

Just buy a second hand pump off another member it's a straight swap aux belt off remove alternator & tensioner pully to gain access as danny says easier with bumper off I'd just replace aux belt if the pully hasn't long been done.
If your mechaniclly minded it should take 3hrs tops.
