Volvo Penta AQ131c Power Steering Pump

[The Last Englishman]

Hi All I'm looking to replace this Pump as it appears to be leaking fluid .. however it could be the fittings that are worn, these are near impossible to replace so does anyone know the following :

What the fittings are called ?
What is the Model number for the Pump?
Where can i get replacement hoses?
Is there a service pack for it?

Is there a Refurbisher for these pumps and what are the costs

Is there any advice anyone can give me any advice for resolving the leak

Many thanks

Englishman

Its the same pump as Mercruiser and at least half the cars on the road. I would try a motor factor and any decent hose specialist should be able to make new hoses if you give them the old one as patten, its got to be cheaper than Volvo.

These pumps were widely used on many different car and boat engines.

There are some subtle differences though so be careful if buying one that looks the same.

I went through this exact problem a year or so back and found a replacement on eBay for about £30

There was one with bent pipes too but yours looked straight. Are you sure it wrong? Any slack in the flexible pipe as that’s in a slightly different place.
