How to strip down power steering pump on vw transporter 2.5 diesel 2007 pump is taken off engine I need to take it apart to fix it

tell the mate to fix it this time ,the magic reset failed
it needs service and can be lots of things
sure wires bad, and lots more.
what you failed to do is scan the PCM first.
but wait the mate saw DTC error codes and did not write them down and give them to you,.wow HUGE evidence lost.

have an accredited service center do an oil pressure checj using a mechanical gauge and work from there

ok its a 2008, MK49 jeep, Patriot
no engine stated.
gas or diesel, or turbo diesel.
if its the VW diesel
it is really 3 cars in one.
Jeep, Mitsubishi and VW.
not a fun job to fix or diagnose, cars like that.
mixed parts...
but gas dirt cheap here, at 50 cents a liter.
so we run nice big V6 here. common on all jeeps.
3.7L petrol.
getting diesel smog clean is problematic. (NOX issues huge)
see the VW law suits. yah. more pain.

so what engines is really really there
down under in Sidney.

Hopefully you didnt ruin your engine. Diesel fuel has lubricating properties to it where gas dosent. It could have also burnt the pistons. Was the pump marked well? If not i would go after the station for damages. We had this happen several years ago, but opposite. We had a station down the road that put diesel in where the super gas pump used to be. They paid for towing to our shop and for us to remove the diesel fuel from the fuel systems. What a mess that was. Luckily no major damage was done to any. I would definately get that checked out by a mechanic who is familiar with vw diesel engines.

how much fluid does the power steering system take

Hi there,
I have just had my T4 2.4 cambelt and water pump done but the van does not run right unless the choke is out any ideas?
Many thanks
Mark

Is it a 1995 or a 1996, it can't be both.

hi there if you remove the cam pully wich drives the diesel pump you will see a key way in the end of the cam turn the engine untill the key way is flat ( i use a streight edge in the keyway and turn until it is level with the top of the cylinder head ROCKER COVER REMOVED once this is aligned up there is a mark o the back of the diesel pump pully thiss aligns up with a groove between two castings on the side of the pump at the front of the engine once all these are aligned up you can put on the belt ( it may ot start right away this wil be due to needing to bleed up the fuel ONLY IF PUMP BEEN REMOVED and bleeding up the fuel can be a right pain. hope thos helps ben
