*Bump*
Have a 2005 AXE 2.5 TDI - only ever used the 506.01 Liquimolly Longtime 0W-30 oil.
Am onto my Second Power Steering Pump in just over a year. Last one was genuine and lines flushed.Both failures were due to Oil contamination. Lines and tank "silted" up with black engine oil which no doubt changes the PAS oil viscosity and ruins the thing. Read a lot of posts stating that the problem happens but not why? the seal on an OEM part fails? and how can this be stopped in the future. Just had another genuine replacement and would like to know what is causing the oil to enter the system and if its preventable. Any thoughts or better parts to source next time?
