Product Details

The Maval Remanufactured Power Steering Pump, part number 96553M, is engineered for Volkswagen steering systems that require a remote reservoir pump. It features an aluminum housing, threaded outlet attachment, and O-ring hose port sealing for the outlet side. This pump is listed with no pulley and no reservoir included, so it is intended for applications that reuse the existing pulley and reservoir arrangement when applicable. This part cross-references Cardone Reman 21-5151 for the same application.

Compatible With select Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, and Beetle models, including 2000-2010 Volkswagen Jetta with ZF pump and “M” as the 8th digit of the VIN, 1999-2007 Volkswagen Golf with ZF pump and “J” as the 8th digit of the VIN, 1998-2006 Volkswagen Beetle with all ZF pumps, and 1999 Volkswagen Jetta without reservoir. Part number 96553M is a focused replacement for these Volkswagen steering pump applications.

What It Helps Resolve

• Low or inconsistent power steering assist
• Noise from a worn or failing pump
• Fluid leakage at the pump outlet or hose connection
• Steering effort that increases during turns or parking maneuvers
• Loss of hydraulic pressure in the steering system

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s pump style, VIN digit, and reservoir configuration before ordering. Confirm the outlet thread size, hose port type, and pulley attachment style match the original unit. Because the pulley and reservoir are not included, transfer reusable components only if they are in serviceable condition and match the original design. Always inspect hoses, seals, and fluid condition during installation to help prevent repeat steering issues.

Quality Assurance

Maval remanufactured steering components are rebuilt to meet application-specific requirements for Volkswagen power steering systems. Part number 96553M is intended for direct replacement in the listed fitments and is supported by the brand’s remanufactured product line.
