power steering pump w210 Om606
Hi
I am trying to work out how to plumb the power steering pump to my vehicle. I'm using an OM606.962 from and E300 W210 in my 4x4.
My pump looks like this:
But why 3 ports?
The top must be the input from the reservoir. I'm guessing the front one is the output? So what is the rear one?

I didnt try to block the rear por yet, other priorities.
Certainly if you block the main output it doesnt like it, was getting hot in the short test i did.
But if the rear port runs the suspension, which isnt active all of the time, it may have a relief valve inside?
I think the oil pressure is diverted back from the SLS to the tank. There are 2 lines for the SLS running to the rear. The SLS valve closes so the pressure can build up. Thats how it works I think. I'm almost certain there's no pressure relieve valve in it by just looking at it.

All credits go to Baldur.

Swapping to a non SLS pump would be the proper way to do it. In fact!! You can have my non-SLS pump in exchange for your SLS remote pump reservoir??
Reason is im converting to SLS pump with remote reservoir because my new inlet manifold doesn't clear the pump-mounted res.. PM me if you're interested.
