mine uses the xe pump and bracket,but it's got the single v tpye pulleys,and im using the original corsa p/s resevoir,i had to cut the pipes down as they were too long but rather than cut the rubber part and risk getting leakes i cut the metal parts and joined them with pressure joints and olives (not sure if they are the correct name for them) from homebase,worked a treat.

iv seen people use saxo vts power steering pumps and relocate battery to the boot

you may have a problem with the alternator pully being so close to the chassis leg if you have the wide belt type. alot of people change pullys to the early v shape ones. or put in elec power steering unit which gives you more bhp

Phil,

Wanna pop round mine and have a butchers at my setup?

*edit* Just realised this is going on a widebelt setup...might be some differences.

You would still use a Corsa PAS fluid reservoir, and preferably the PAS pipework from another Corsa with PAS as it has the correct fixings and shape etc.

Lee if you want a couple of pics I could MMS you a couple?

Mine doesn't have a belt on it but you could see how its basically mounted :)

Cheers mate. Hopefully that works out for us. It's hard to see in peoples pictures what thier running.

Definately used the sport reservoir and pretty sure the pipes were the standard ones. Just try and keep the one that runs behind the rad away from the exhaust mani as it ill burn through it and spray PAS fluid everywhere when it does!

Yeah. Not the blue one though fro :(. Got a black one.

So I can just drop in the lump as it came out the Calibra and use the conversion PAS mount?

How is it piped up? using the Corsa sport pipes and filling pot?

:wave:

Pretty sure the original pump for the engine is used but there are conversion PAS mounts so you may have to use one of them?

Is your one getting the treatment at last Mr Wilson? :!

Not sure which pump was used :(

ignore me :D

Cheers.

We've got the conversion bracket. Can we use the pump and everything from the Calibra XE or do we need to attach one from a cavalier or something silly to get it to fit?

Pretty sure it won't go straight in Need a custom PAS mount I think mate. Not sure on the other questions.

Need some help with setting up XE Power Steering on a late type Corsa Sport.

We've taken the lump out of the Calibra complete with the Power Steering, alternator, wide belt etc. Will it fit straight into a Corsa with the Calibra Power Steering pump?

People that have done it, do you use the Power Steering Fluid pots from the Corsa?

The car is a V Reg 1.6 Sport and the lump is from a K Reg Calibra.

Any related pics/vids/stories are appreciated. And were not considering EPAS or not having PAS.

Cheers,
