T4 Power Steering Pump - 1996-03 (ACU,AET,AEU,APL,AVT,AAB,AJA,ACV,AJT,AHY,AUF,AXG,AYC,AYY Engines)

This replacement power steering pump is designed for a wide range of Volkswagen Transporter T4 models from January 1996 to June 2003, covering both petrol and diesel engines. Built to OE specifications, it restores smooth, consistent hydraulic assistance to the steering system—eliminating heavy steering feel, pump noise, or fluid circulation issues often caused by worn or failing pumps.

Manufactured for long service life, this pump ensures proper fluid pressure and flow through the power steering rack, giving you light, controlled steering even at low speeds. Whether your original pump has begun to leak, whine, or lose efficiency, this replacement offers a reliable, direct-fit solution.

This pump is compatible with the following T4 engines:

This direct-fit replacement ensures quiet operation, improved steering feel, and restored confidence behind the wheel of your T4.
