Detailed Description

This Maval power steering pump is engineered for steering systems that require a remote reservoir design and a threaded outlet connection. The pump uses an O-ring hose port and a hose barb inlet, which helps match the original hydraulic connection style on supported vehicles. If you are replacing a worn or noisy pump on a Volkswagen Passat or Audi A4 platform, 96679M provides a remanufactured replacement option built around the original fitment requirements.

Compatible With 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat, N/A; 2000-2001 Audi A4, N/A; and 1999-2001 Audi A4 Quattro, N/A, this pump is listed for vehicles equipped with a KYB pump. The part number 96679M should be verified against the existing pump and connection style before installation.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard steering effort caused by a weak or failing pump
• Whining or groaning from the power steering system
• Hydraulic leaks at the outlet or hose connection
• Loss of steering assist at low speeds
• Inconsistent steering response from a worn remanufactured unit

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm that the vehicle uses the KYB pump configuration before ordering. Match the outlet thread size, hose port type, inlet style, and remote reservoir layout to the original unit. Because the pulley is not included and the pulley attachment is press-on, reuse or transfer the correct pulley only if it is serviceable and matches the application. Flush the power steering system and inspect hoses, seals, and fluid condition before installing the replacement pump.

Quality Assurance

This remanufactured pump is built by Maval for steering-system replacement use and is specified with application details that support accurate fitment on the listed Volkswagen and Audi models. Part number 96679M is also referenced as 8D0145-156L for cross-checking during catalog lookup.
