Detailed Description

VAICO V10-7091 is a hydraulic power steering pump for Volkswagen steering systems that need OE-style connector sizing and pressure output. It is listed for Volkswagen Cabrio, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, and Volkswagen Passat applications across the 1993-2002 model years, including fitments with chassis-specific notes. This part cross-references Gates 51601 for the same application.

Use this pump when servicing a hydraulic steering system that requires a vane pump layout, 16 mm inlet and outlet connections, and a pump body sized at 115 mm by 120 mm by 56 mm. The part number V10-7091 is also useful for catalog matching when replacing an existing VAICO unit or verifying interchange references.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring hydraulic power steering assist
• Addressing steering effort that increases at low speed
• Replacing a worn or noisy pump in Volkswagen Cabrio, Golf, Jetta, or Passat applications
• Correcting pressure loss in a hydraulic steering circuit
• Matching OE-style connector dimensions during steering system repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s steering system uses a hydraulic pump and verify connector diameter, pulley arrangement, and chassis notes before installation. Because this pump is supplied without a belt pulley, reuse or source the correct pulley only if the application requires one. Always inspect the steering fluid condition, hoses, and reservoir before installing V10-7091 to avoid repeat pump failure.

Quality Assurance

VAICO parts are cataloged for application-specific fitment and dimensional accuracy. Verify the part number V10-7091 against the vehicle’s steering system and interchange references before installation.
