    On the Original Topic, the pump, this is a known fault, make sure all you T5ers get yours fixed under warranty.

    The difficulty with the pump is that it is internal in the engine. The issue is supposedly fixed with the later T5s.

    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

    "The issue is supposedly fixed with the later T5s."

    Do you have any dates for this problem (P/s pump seals) to have been rectified. What was the fix??

    Got this same problem with my t5, it's really pushing the oil through. Do I need to replace the pump or can the seal be replaced to fix the problem?

    Have a 2005 AXE 2.5 TDI - only ever used the 506.01 Liquimolly Longtomw 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 the source next time?
