About the Cardone Power Steering Pump Line
The Cardone Power Steering Pump product line focuses on remanufactured components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This line emphasizes quality restoration of hydraulic power steering systems, providing reliable performance for vehicles requiring replacement pumps. The 21-5915 model is part of this line, offering a balance of durability and compatibility for Audi power steering systems.
Product Details and Specifications
This remanufactured power steering pump features an aluminum housing that helps reduce weight while maintaining strength and heat resistance. The pump uses a press-on pulley attachment, though the pulley itself is not included, so reusing the original pulley is necessary. It is designed with a remote reservoir setup, meaning the reservoir is separate and not included with the pump. The inlet connection uses a hose barb type for secure hose attachment, and the outlet is threaded with a 14x1.5 size, compatible with washer-type hose ports. The package includes the hydraulic pump, an instruction sheet for installation guidance, and a sealing kit to ensure proper sealing during installation.
Compatible Vehicles and Common Applications
- Restores power steering assist in Audi 100 and 100 Quattro models
- Replaces faulty pumps in Audi A6 and A6 Quattro vehicles
- Addresses whining noises caused by worn or contaminated pumps
- Resolves hard steering issues related to pump failure
- Eliminates intermittent assist problems during engine rpm changes
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 21-5915 power steering pump, ensure the original pulley is inspected for damage, as the pulley is not included with this unit. A cracked or damaged pulley can cause operational issues. Use the included sealing kit to prevent leaks at hose connections. Since the pump features a remote reservoir design, verify the reservoir condition separately. It is recommended to flush the power steering fluid system to remove contamination that can affect pump performance. Follow the instruction sheet carefully for torque specifications and hose attachment procedures.

This remanufactured power steering pump undergoes rigorous testing to meet functional standards comparable to OEM parts. Cardone provides a limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, ensuring reliability and peace of mind for your Audi power steering repair. Always verify compatibility with your specific Audi model before installation.
