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?

Civic2Scooby

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.

B16a2VTIguy

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?

PDiggityDogg

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