My ATF is leaking and my garage guy attributes that to the power steering pump but he's not putting much effort into looking for it. I drive the Cedia look alike Mits and he was telling me it's not the easiest spare part to find. Anyone who can assist me I'll appreciate...thanks smano BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

Anyway,I wanted to know how much they cost and where I can get one for my model. I keep telling my garage guy my ATF is leaking and he keeps saying he'll source for the part but meanwhile I'm using a 1 litre of ATF every month. So basically that's it. Any help/tips/leads appreciated.Thanks smano BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

Japanese cars have different name from what is in Kenya and what is available in Europe. If you gave details like full make/model/yr of Manufacture.. then will do a search and find out what it is called in Europe. eg Toyota vitz = toyota Yaris Toyota Duet = Daihatsu Sirion Toyota Prado = Toyota Colorado Mitsubishi Pajero = Mits Shogun Mits Pajero IO = pajero pinin/shogun pinin Opel = Vauxhall Toyota Harrier = Lexus RX Estima = Previa etc... Sasa hiyo cedia... siijui. Get ready... for the open road! Motobex

Rank: Elder Joined: 12/13/2006 Posts: 2,589		Thanks guys,I was beginning to think I won't get a reply from all the views. I drive a Mitsubishi Lancer GDI,2001 model,1.8 auto. The ATF has been leaking and my mech advised that the power steering pump needs to be replaced to stop the leaking. I have no problems with the steering until the ATF gets used up after which it starts making that jarring sound when am turning corners The problem is that I have to keep refilling the ATF as it's leaking. Maybe I'm the one missing something but that's the situation as I understand it. Mis - diagnosis ama i didn't get what my mech meant? So the part he's been saying is hard to get is the power steering pump for my model of car. smano BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

Rank: Elder Joined: 5/24/2007 Posts: 1,805		@smano Just try and get a second opinion. Where is the leaking coming from? Is it at the pipes,pump or where? have you had a look at the 'scene of crime' yourself ama you just sat in the car?I say this because Power steering pumps hardly get damaged unless they are run bila the fluid ( then they make thay noise you are talking about). I could bet that the leak is at the pipes because a mulfunctioning pump only makes your steering harden and soften bila mpango when you steer. Is this what you are exepriencing? I Think Therefore I Am

I'll definitely get a second opinion,am not about to splash cash unless it's absolutely necessary. Thanks guys smano BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!
