Power steering pump
Discussion
Hi John,
it´s the same with my Tuscan. Power steering doesn`t work just after start. Very heavy to turn the steering wheel. After a while it grows better, but not like I am used it from other cars. The pump has a flat belt, but it is not good to see. Not from top and not from the bottom of the car. You can see it a little bit at the following pic. Power steering pump is in the middle under generator and A/C-Compressor. Where the black hose go in.
Greetings
Udo

Hello Konrad
In the photo you can see the shaft and the pulley that drives the altenator, on the tuscan Mk1 it has an additional pulley to the right of the bearing housing that drives the power steer pump.
the MkII is same as the Sagaris which is electric

Sorry to go OT but are they the standard Saggy steering arms?In the photo you can see the shaft and the pulley that drives the altenator, on the tuscan Mk1 it has an additional pulley to the right of the bearing housing that drives the power steer pump.

Yep standard for Sag.In an ideal world the steering track rods should be horizontal. Tuscan can be modified too.

What parts are required for modification of a Mk1 Tuscan?
Will mod solve the twichiness of the Mk1 model?
Sounds interesting!

Yes, does that revised steering pickup point solve the bump steer issue that Tuscan's are prone too? My S has had it's rack raised on what looks to be a 7mm spacer, but the steering arms still aren't level.
Would be very interested in doing this mod if it's a simple bolt on jobbie to make the car handle better.

This is the stuff I've used. It's made a big difference on my '00 car.

No need to get shirty about it but surely you can see where I'm coming from?
Cause of accident: "Non-standard and unproven steering part fitted by owner failed resulting in immediate loss of vehicle control."
The liabilities associated with that don't bear thinking about! Perhaps me being over cautious but it's not the first time something like that has happened.
Anyway, before we get too carried away by such things, I've started a topic in the Sagaris section about it to hopefully gain some further insight into the issue and how OEM parts can be put to use.
