No provision is made for repairing the vane pump. In event of complaints, determine the cause with the help of the pressure test and leakage test, and → fault finding programme running gear No. 10. If a fault is detected, renew the vane pump.

  Note

t	If fluid level in reservoir is low, check steering system for leaks.

t	If leakage appears near pipe connections, first check lines and connections for leaks, tighten connections as necessary and wipe dry.
