PS Hydraulic Pump
I have an '05 Alpine Coach and I'm having a lack/loss of power steering assist at low speed/idle. I have the MH in the shop and they have tested the hyd. pump and there is a loss of pressure at low rpms.
Basically it amounts to no assist at idle which means it is armstrong steering while maneuvering into tight places. The steering is fine/manageable when the mh is moving. The shop has called around and it appears that the pump is out of production in the states. They are looking at a 14 week lead time from England and a price of $600+. The money isn't the issue, it's the down time.
I am curious if anybody else has had this problem? Is there a cross reference to another pump? Sauer Danfoss is referring us to the UK.
The model # C45.ol35765160160
Any suggestions???
Thanks in advance, Terry
