I"m cold just looking at the picture. But there is a nice sense of calm knowing that you can get where ever you need to go in style and power.

Almost a year with nothing major. Power steering went out yesterday at a store parking lot… No oil anywhere. Just a grindy noise from the pump. Looking at the worst case scenario of having to replace my power steering rack…

Can you even do that without removing the engine?

Hey man. Did I understand correctly that you replaced the power steering pump without dropping the engine?

Would you say a pro mechanics shop should be able to attempt it if I tell them its doable? They looked up the official audi documentation and it says to drop the engine.

I definitely changed it without dropping the engine im trying to remember how I removed it its been a while. I’m pretty sure I removed the subframe to have some room and i had a hydralic jack holding the engine up and I removed the driver side axle because it was blocking the bolts holding in the pump. I did It on the floor in my driveway. Honestly if I went under the car and looked at it. It probably would come back to me but I’m certain I removed the subframe
