quote: Good Advice there! I have a multi v bottom pulley on my Corsa. What car would a V-Pulley PAS pump come from? Any chance of some pics of your setup? Also, can the engine be mounted and then you add the power steering? :boggle: | |

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. | |

the pipes are the sameyuo just have to manouvre em a bit and cut 2 inch oof the rubber low pressure return,the best option is to convert to v-belt setup wit a double v-bottom pulley (ive got a spare for sale...lol) a v type alternator and baracket,and v type PAS pump using the baracket...then go to motor factors and find a belt (measure it with string and take it with you)...ive just done this on mine... i put a late type (multi rib belted-originally)redtop in my v-reg corsa sport...works brill :) | |

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 | |

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! | |

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? | |
