Seals Repair Cost (ireland )


Recommended Posts

Not the same as the other topic in Engine and Transmission, but my alternator stopped working on my '93 400.

I've had it towed to the Lexus garage [ here in Dublin ] , and they and I think it's the old Power steer leak.

While I do think the alternator replacement is probably going to be a nasty hit, they are saying they have to replace the whole PAS pump , costing about €1500 or so.

I thought one only had to do the seals !! I said this to them and they said they don't bother doing that - it's not worth their while to get involved.

I asked them if I got them the seals would they fit them they said no...I'd have to find someone who could do that ! this is a Lexus Garage not a cowboy !

what options do I have : :blink::tomato: help !

If you read my post on power steering i imported from USA.The cost for a remanufactured pump (marval) was $258 +$50 core+$150 shipping+£50 import duty approx.

If you convert to pounds or euros that is a big saving compared to Lexus.You could get the seals replaced for about £150 in UK but felt the above is the best bet, no having to take old pump off to be re sealed etc.

I purchased my pump from ozzis autos and have used them before for parts,they are good.

Ok. I've asked for them to replace the Alternator but not the pump just yet... I'm not a money tree. I've asked about the shield, though...

see

So : If one did actually want to get just the seals done. I have contacted Lexus in Belfast and they say a seal kit is £22.

Does anyone know if this will actually fix the problem [i.e. getting a seal kit in ]

Further, does anyone know of someone who will actually fit the kit ?

If anyone has the manual for the car, could they have a look and check it out ?

Or am I basically taking too much effort on this :)
