Replacement of the Power Steering Pump

Model: Renault Scenic - Years 1996-2003
Part: Pump

If the steering suddenly becomes heavier but tends to improve as the engine revs increase, then the problem lies with the power steering pump: since the pump pulley is driven by the auxiliary belt, increasing the engine revs also increases the power steering pump speed, thereby increasing the flow and pressure delivered; to replace this pump, loosen the tensioner of the auxiliary belt to remove it from the pulley; then remove the pulley of the pump, disconnect the feed and return pipes, and complete the removal of the pump by unscrewing the three fixing bolts; proceed in reverse for the installation of the new pump and then top up the oil level in the respective reservoir.
