My power steering pump packed its bags and fucked off today, my Question is...
I have a B16a2 in a EG hatch, now honda quote 500 quid, the cheapest motor factor quotes 190 quid....i dont have that money before xmas!

So i tried scrapyards/breakers and none have any B16 civics/crx's or tegs (basically no B series engines in)
So i had a look at a D15 5door civic today quickly whilst in work and the pump looked pretty similar. Does anyone know if a D series power steering pump fits? coz i can get one from the scrappy easy, unfortunately B16 are quite wanted/rare here in the uk!!

 

I am pretty sure that they are not the same...wish it woulda happened like a week ago, I just threw out two B series power steering pumps while cleaning out the garage...I woulda just sent you one....:happysad:

 

gotta have b-series, yep

(and damn you for throwing those out...I need to test fit with my p7j)

 

DAMN!!! I stripped it down cleaned it inside and rebuilt it, i hope that fixes it (wishfull thinking). Just to explain what its doin wrong......
when i start the car and turn the wheel lock-to-lock it kinda throths and bubbles out of the resevoir. Does that just sound like a fucked seal???
I'm gonna take it to my local scrappy tomorrow morning and compare it to some D-series....just incase!!

 

sorry...I mite still be able to dig one up from a friend, that is always the first thing to go when they swap.

 

if you can get one, how much u reckon it will cost to send to UK?

 

I dunno, they arent lite, but the shipping would def be cheaper than you would even pay at the scrapyard....prob like 60-70 quid to ship it would be my guess.

 

cool let me know if you can get one plz, i'll keep every1 up to date with the situation.

 

how much is a quid in relationship to a brittish pound?

 

a quid is a pound, its like "buck" but even the queen says it
