Hi guys, I kind of skipped the introduction but I'm in serious need of some help. Firstly it's good to know there's such a good forum with a wealth of knowledge! But my search didn't return the results I was looking for. I have an 03 A3 TDi Quattro - it's a great car and does the job I got it for very well, commuting to work.
It recently developed a slight noise in the steering but due to being so busy I didn't have the time to look at it. Anyway at the start of the week the PS pump started to make a slight noise, I got it home, checked the level and it seemed down so I topped it up a little but I think it had gone too far. The PS pump was ****** and I traced a leak to the nearside of the steering rack. I've got a rack on order but I'm lead to believe the PS pump is main dealer only and I don't really fancy spending a huge wedge on that so would rather get it from an A3 being broken.
I just need to know, will the PS pump from a standard FWD 1.9 TDi fit my Quattro? Thanks
