About This Power Steering Pump
Before ordering a used power steering pump, settle which of three systems your vehicle has, because only one takes a pump like this. A conventional hydraulic pump is belt-driven off the engine. An electro-hydraulic setup keeps a hydraulic rack but replaces the belt pump with one unit containing the control module, an electric motor, the pump and the reservoir together, commanded over the vehicle network - it shares nothing with a belt-driven pump and is quoted as a module. Fully electric steering has no pump at all. The second thing to settle is what your pump feeds. On many diesel, turbocharged and supercharged vehicles the brake booster is a hydro-boost unit running on power steering pressure instead of engine vacuum, so the pump is part of the braking system: too little pressure and braking performance is drastically reduced. That makes pump choice a brake-safety matter for a licensed technician. Send the VIN and we will identify the system before quoting.
Because every power steering pump quote is matched to your Audi by VIN, you get a part that fits the first time and keeps your repair on budget.

Before you order, it helps to read:
Common Signs Your Power Steering Pump May Need Replacing
- Groaning or whining that rises as you turn toward full lock
- Steering that is heavy at parking speeds but frees up as you drive
- A puddle at the front of the engine near the belt
- A hard brake pedal on a truck or van fitted with hydro-boost
Symptoms vary by vehicle and driving conditions. Always confirm diagnosis before replacement.
What to Check When Buying a Used Power Steering Pump
- Confirm the system first - belt-driven hydraulic, electro-hydraulic module, or electric with no pump
- For an electro-hydraulic unit, quote it as the whole motor-pump-module assembly, not a bare pump
- Match the pump to the engine, not the model - mounting and drive vary within one range
- Ask whether the pulley and reservoir come on the unit or transfer from yours
- Look for staining at the shaft and reservoir seals; turn the shaft for roughness or play
Ask for these details and any available photos before approving a purchase.
What Happens After You Request a Quote
- We review your vehicle and part request
- Provide your VIN or full vehicle details for fitment review
- Review the available condition, warranty, shipping, and price details

How Pricing Is Determined
Pricing for used power steering pump depends on several factors:
- Vehicle year, make, model, and engine configuration
- Mileage and overall condition of the donor vehicle
- Supplier location and shipping distance
- Warranty coverage offered
What moves a power-steering-pump quote is mostly what is attached to it. A bare pump body, a pump with the pulley pressed on, and a pump with an integral reservoir are three different things to source, and moving a pulley across is its own line of shop labor. Engine-specific mounting is the other driver: one model year can carry different pumps across engine options. Electro-hydraulic units sit in a class of their own, because the motor and control module are part of the assembly. Budget beyond the part for the manufacturer-specified fluid and a flush - mixing fluid types can damage the pump, hoses and steering gear. We do not display prices. Request a quote and review the written terms first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tell whether my car takes a pump at all?
Three systems exist and only one uses a belt-driven pump. Conventional hydraulic steering has a pump bolted to the engine and turned by a belt. Electro-hydraulic steering still uses fluid and a hydraulic rack, but an electric motor drives the pump, packaged with a control module and the reservoir in one unit commanded over the vehicle network. Fully electric steering has a motor at the rack or column and no hydraulics. Send the VIN rather than guessing - some ranges were built with more than one of these.
My truck has a hard brake pedal and heavy steering at the same time. Is that the pump?
It can be, and it is a reason to stop driving it and have it checked. On diesel, turbocharged and supercharged vehicles the brake booster is often a hydro-boost unit between the firewall and the master cylinder, taking its assist from power steering pressure instead of engine vacuum and passing the fluid on to the steering gear. If the system cannot deliver enough pressure, braking performance is drastically reduced - which is why the two symptoms arrive together. Diagnosing it safely takes pressure testing at a shop, so do not order parts off the symptom alone.
Does a used pump come with the pulley and the reservoir?
Ask, because it varies and it changes the job. Some pumps carry an integral reservoir clipped or bolted to the body; others draw from a remote reservoir that stays on the car. Pulleys are commonly pressed off the old pump and reinstalled on the replacement, which is its own operation rather than a bolt. Tell us what you already have and we will confirm what the quoted unit includes.
There is an electrical plug on my hydraulic power steering pump - what is that?
That is usually an electronic variable orifice actuator. Cardone's bulletin describes an EVO valve controlled by a module that reduces the pressure fed from the pump to the steering gear at highway speeds, and notes that a replacement pump may require the EVO fitting and valve to be transferred over from your old unit. Tell us if yours has one.
Does a used power steering pump have to be primed before the engine is started?
Yes, and skipping it is how a sound pump gets ruined on day one. Cardone's bulletin states plainly that a pump run dry after installation will fail, its own units shipping drained after factory testing. Trade guidance adds that starting the engine with air still in the system may damage the pump, since air causes cavitation wear inside it.
My old pump came apart - can metal left in the system wreck the replacement?
Yes, and that is why the system gets flushed before the new unit goes on. A failed pump seeds the fluid with debris, and what stays behind can lodge under the pressure relief valve or wedge between the spool valve and its housing, costing you pressure and assist. Trade guidance is that unflushed dirty fluid will cause a problem sooner or later.
Steering is light when cold and heavy once the engine warms up - is that the pump?
That pattern does point at the pump. Trade diagnosis is that a worn pump gives good assist cold but less as the fluid warms, because a rippled cam ring surface lets fluid slip past internally once the fluid thins out. It is settled with a pressure tester against the maker's specification rather than by symptom, so have that done before ordering.
How is compatibility verified?
