[mb4ever]

ive heard you can use vauxhall corsa b electronic power steering

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=92439&hilit=+power+steering

Do you know the life expectancy of the Corsa pump used like that please Vandalism?

Quote "I[i] have looked into the corsa pump's and apparently failure of the pump is quite a common occurance, In fact i have read quite a few articles as regards to electric pumps packing up..[/i]

I've heard that about electric power steering pumps too.
On the other hand, does anyone know of a reason why one can't use a belt drive pump instead of the electric one.

i dont know much about modern cars im afraid

All the RV's that are based on the Transit MK2 Hymermobil 522 with a diesel have powersteering.

A fat soft steering wheel with 3 square spokes, the oil pump is located near the left leaf front spring bracket, on a bracket attached to the engine.

The oil reservoir is screwed to the left inner wing.

There are 3 belts on my cranck.
