Power steering pump rebuild kit
Hi, folks. My power steering pump is leaking (not subject to any recall) and I would like to rebuild it while I have my subframe out. Does anyone know where a rebuild kit for a 2004 Cooper S can be found? My Interweb search is not turning up anything. Thanks.

Did you check if you qualify for the recall/warranty extension? https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ng-recall.html

As I understand it, the recall covers only 13 years forward and/or 130,000 miles, and only certain build months. I did go out to the MINI site and enter my VIN and my June '04 build is not covered. I just replaced the clutch and still have the subframe out with the pump attached. It doesn't appear that it's a hose issue so I was thinking it might be an o-ring on the pump itself. Hence my post about a rebuild kit. My next step is to drain the reservoir and hoses, then pull the pump from the subframe for inspection. I received extensive service records when I bought the car and they indicate that the pump was replaced in Jan. 2011. I will say that the pump (Bosch) looks brand new (after a wipe down) and certainly doesn't look 8 years old so it's possible it was replaced again and I just don't have that repair record. My MC40 has been off the road for approx. 3 weeks under repair and I'm anxious to get it back together but once apart I've run into a few other needed repairs (split CV boot, broken temp sensor) that I've also addressed. It's not my DD so time is less a factor. I just miss DRIVING it!

Ok, just checking, Good luck on the search and fixes, I know i have seen people take them apart and 'fix" the brushes on the inside. I dont remember the seals or if they even mentioned it.

Both power steering hoses were replaced but my pump is still leaking. Since I had the subframe out already for a clutch replacement, I pulled the pump off, cleaned it up, tightened all the fittings and reinstalled. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the leaking issue either. I have not been able to find a rebuild kit. I did, however, find a company on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/02-03-04-05...gAAOSwEeFVQVVt) that will rebuild the pump (if you send it to them) for approx. $225 (includes electrical component rebuild also). That's $100 less than the lowest price I've seen for a rebuilt pump. I don't know anything about the company so I'm certainly not endorsing them. Next step for me is to remove the pump, pull it apart and try to determine why it's leaking. I would imagine that it's a simple o-ring issue but never having taken one apart before I'm venturing into unknown territory. I'm open to suggestions or repair tips if anyone on the Forum has done this themselves.
