ra rodeo power steering problems

You'll have to come clean and tell him about the 40" muddies you put on, then turn from lock to lock while stationary :)

Don't let them try and bluff you with a "second claim" furphy. Whatever pump they put in last time is fully warranted until the end of the original 3 yrs/100000ks.

Are you sure they put a new one in, as they are legally entitled to put a second hand or rebuilt one in that they think will make it to 100,000k.

Hi Peter,

Stating the obvious here but I don't see why you would have a problem with a second claim for the same item. If it's faulty again then it's faulty.

Pete with the TF Rodeos and the twin drive belt set-up the psteer pump will very quickly destroy itself if the belts are the tiniest bit too tight. I believe similar setup with the RA?

What is the actual problem? is it leaking out the front seal?? Watch out if the front bearing goes they can throw the pully and drive shaft into the radiator!!

I have over the years of owning the Isuzu engines replaced a few pumps and if they dont destroy themselves are usually only about $150 to rebuild. There is nothing to them.

If Holden want to replace it and pay $1200 then thats their silly problem not yours...there is no such thing as a second claim void!!

All the best
Matt.

I have had the 6 stacker CD player in my '05 RA LT replaced twice now, no questions asked, both under warranty.
I explained the problem to Holden when I take the ute in for it's servicing, and they say no problem, we will replace that for you. Even the second time, it was not too much trouble, different defect with different symptoms. A 6 stacker is not something they generally hold, however they have on both occasions got a new replacement unit in within a week of being presented with the problem.
(if the bloody thing goes again, I'll ask for a single disc player like the LX has, to be put in)

Cheers,
Dion.
