Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery and ensure the engine is cool. Drain any existing hydraulic fluid from the steering system.
2. Remove Old Pump: Detach the old power steering pump using the standard four‑bolt mounting pattern. Carefully disconnect all hydraulic lines, noting their orientation for reassembly.
3. Mount New Pump: Position the VAICO V27-0017 on its bracket and secure it with bolts. Verify that the pump’s shaft aligns correctly with the engine crankshaft pulley.
4. Reconnect Hydraulic Lines: Attach the hydraulic hoses to the new pump, ensuring tight seals. Use appropriate fittings to match the existing system.
5. Refill Fluid: Fill the steering reservoir with fresh hydraulic fluid as specified by the manufacturer’s guidelines.
6. Bleed System: Follow standard bleeding procedures to eliminate air pockets, ensuring optimal pressure delivery.
7. Final Check: Inspect all connections for leaks and confirm that the pump operates smoothly during a test drive.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Inspect hydraulic fluid levels every 10,000 km or as per operational schedule.
• Replace fluid with high‑quality synthetic hydraulic oil every 20,000 km to maintain pressure stability.
• Check for leaks around seals and fittings monthly; tighten bolts if necessary.
• Monitor pump noise levels; any unusual vibration may indicate bearing wear requiring professional inspection.
