pezzler Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I think just about everyone is in the same boat, I know I am! Just been plagued with fault in top of fault, and once one is rectified, another rears its head. I personally dont like using 2nd hand parts either so it gets so bloody expensive, and I know i'm overdue replacing the wishbones amongst other expensive bits and bobs Unless you have a fair amount of disposable cash, these cars ARE more trouble than their worth ....but, as with pretty much everything, you wouldn't be interested if it was easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 when things go wrong as my first reaction is to smash something up or or set fire to it. Or sometimes both..!! You scare me sometimes! Sorry to hear about your problems Si. Hope you resolve the issues quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staples230uk Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 well, now I've had a sit down and a think, it just means i can get a few things sorted, get engine loom changed over, pipes beaded, change the PAS pump etc... But I'll still be going to JAE with the car Sweet! Been a long time since I've seen it in the metal si! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Good like Si, stick with it bud, mines been sat up for 18 months now cause of the drifting. Gonna spend the winter months getting her back on the road, but I plan to do all the work myself. No.5 cyclinder leaking 50%, turbos shot, but apart from that she should be good.

heckler Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Job 1 done, PAS pump replaced. Had a good rummage around the engine, found the wastegate was loose (job for tomorrow). Replaced a few I/C pipe joiners. Few more little jobs to do tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Was the PAS pump straightforward to replace? I may be doing this job soon on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Was the PAS pump straightforward to replace? I may be doing this job soon on mine. It should be mate, I cant recall exactly for the Supra, but it should be just a case of 3 odd bolts holding the PAS mount on the front/side of the block, then a banjo type bolt and a return pipe usually just on a clip, obviously you'll need to remove the belt as well.

Scott Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 PS pump is a doddle, just a little messy as the fluid obviously needs to be drained out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Was the PAS pump straightforward to replace? I may be doing this job soon on mine. pretty much what Ash said, remove the belt, banjo, and the feed from the tank. Two bolts hold the pump on. You may find it easier to remove the intercooler pipe that goes to the throttle body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Thanks guys. Where do you drain the PAS fluid from? Is it from the bottom of the reservoir or is there a lower, better point to drain from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Thanks guys. Where do you drain the PAS fluid from? Is it from the bottom of the reservoir or is there a lower, better point to drain from? I just did it from the lowest point. Get the basin/bucket whatever right underneath the pipe and where you are removing the pipe from. Once it's emptied out, give the steering a few turns either way and it will squirt out what's left. From there you can remove the pump no bother, you will get a few drips etc but nothing major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 well, when I said I'd done the PAS pump... hmmm... new pump on, and it leaked, found where it was leaking from, bit of sealant - job sorted. So I started to bleed they system with engine running, full lock, went to look at the pump PAS fluid everywhere. It was only at this point I noticed that two of the four bolt which hold the pump together were missing!!! two bolts replaced no longer leaks. Was touch and go wether I went to JAE or not! So.. Job one done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Small point, when you replace the PAS pump always remember to flush the reservoir out as its a fairly hot bet that the reason it failed in the first place is that the res gets a tonne of sludge on the screen filter in the bottom of it and on full lock will starve the pump of oil.

Job one done. I had exactly the same thing when I swapped mine! Although I seem to recall it was me who took them out in the first place for some reason It's fine until the system pressurises when the wheel is turned, causes quite a mess doesn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
