97 2.5 523i p/steering pump change - carnut1980
hi all, the power steering pump on my 97 523i estate is noisy, i have a replacement to hand. Is the swap a tricky one? the pulley faces the front of car and is driven by secondary belt. Im guessing i should slacken this belt for starters, once i have the car up on my ramps. I want totackle it myself, is there anything i should watch out for, or is it a straightforward job?
Also the blower and climate doesnt work, the handbook says fuse no: 76 is for the blower, but its not in the glovebox where the rest of the fuses are, nor in the boot. Where else could it be?
Finally the locking wheel nut is missing and i dont have the box it came from. Is it possible to get another measured up and made? The alloys are in good nick but i really want to change them!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
cheers
