Detailed Description

This Maval power steering pump is engineered for Volkswagen models that require a remanufactured pump with remote reservoir plumbing. It is listed for 1984-1993 Volkswagen applications, including Cabriolet, Passat, Golf, Jetta, Corrado, and Rabbit Convertible. The 96145M is a practical replacement when the original pump shows wear, noise, or hydraulic performance loss in the steering system.

This part cross-references AMS Automotive 6697 for the same application. The 96145M part number is also useful when verifying replacement options for Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta steering repairs, as well as Volkswagen Cabriolet and Passat service work.

What It Helps Fix

• Steering pump noise during turns or at idle
• Low or inconsistent power steering assist
• Fluid leakage at the pump outlet or hose connection
• Hard steering effort in Volkswagen Cabriolet, Golf, Jetta, Passat, Corrado, or Rabbit Convertible models
• Wear-related pump performance loss in remote reservoir systems

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the vehicle uses a remote reservoir power steering setup before ordering.
• Confirm the outlet thread size, hose barb inlet, and O-ring port style match the original pump.
• Transfer or source a compatible pulley separately, since the pulley is not included.
• Inspect hoses, seals, and fluid condition during installation to reduce repeat failures.
• Bleed the steering system after installation to remove trapped air and restore smooth assist.
