I was wondering if anyone new of a good source for this pump. Mine is leaking through the shaft. Is there a rebuild kit? Reputable shop to have it sent to? Somewhere that isn't $2100+ for a new one. Thanks in Advance.

Rebuild/Upgrade Service for '07-'13 Jaguar XK/XKR Convertible Hydraulic Components - Top Hydraulics, Inc offers a rebuild service for $500.

 

I saw that, but I wasn't sure how good they were. Thanks!

All the feedback I have seen has been positive.

 

It looks pretty straight forward to pull out, is that so, or is it a fools errand?

MrN

 

+1 on that.

 

If the process is similar to my mustang's pump, then, there is a bleeding process. This can be minimized by capping the ends of the lines that are disconnected ASAP. If possible pre-fill the pump. Then cycle the top a number of times. Not sure what fluid Jag uses, but, the mustang is ATF.
Good Luck.

 

Thanks everyone, got the pump back from Klaus at Top Hydraulics! Super quick turn around. Works like a charm. Who knew changing the battery could be such a pain and lead to a pump rebuild...augh!
