Power Steering

Has anyone replaced a power steering pump on C6 V10 here. Wander want is evolved? Was told it requires an engine drop.

Yeah I was told it requires an engine drop. My engine has to be dropped for leaking camshaft bearing covers so JimmyBones suggested swapping the power steering pump at the same time.

Not a super easy thing to replace. Its driven off the gears in the back of the motor. I would say given the lack of space motor drop is the most desirable but you can try to drop off the driver side motor mount and mounting brackets to expose most of what you need. I haven’t replaced one on a S6 but from looking its a bit of a job.

Finally getting to it. It would be that bad since I have the custom manifolds.

Let us know how it goes.

Power Steering pump changed without pulling the engine. The custom manifold allowed for access.

Gained access through the drivers side wheel well.

Can I ask what this custom manifold is? are you talking about the exhaust?

They are the headers coutvohn makes. Or that’s what I believe hes talking about and you would deffinitly not be able to do that with the stock manifolds from what I have seen

Hey Justin, Yes they are the ones he made. The car runs like a scolded bull.

It has been awhile but the Power steering is gone again. I just parked the car for now until I can get back to it.
