The code is PHON49 the odyssey is very different at the rear regards the floor compared with the couple of Elysion's I have seen and from your pictures Pete, but the key structural parts could be the same nonetheless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phon54 was mine, be interesting to see how they came up with the same price !!!! Just a generic price list, " one price fits all " !! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted June 18, 2020 Author Administrators Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Well, today I diagnosed the power steering pump has gone bad on the odyssey ☹️ I replaced the all seals almost 2 years ago now and its been trouble-free ever since and now following a power steering fluid change with the genuine fluid its started to wine and now it is pretty bad so a quick trip out abruptly cancelled to return home. 🙄 Personally, I doubt the fluid is to blame as its clocked almost 150,000 miles. So I have ordered three used pumps, 2000 accord, 1999 Shuttle and a luckily I managed to find of an RA6 pump in Ireland for £40 delivered, worth seeing if any of the others are compatible with the high-pressure side connection and potentially saving other owners from expensive repairs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the HP side should be the same Stu and if not, a hex nipple should make it possible to adapt one to the other. It would be the bracketry that would bother me, whether the brackets are swappable? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you're saying Dave and your input always appreciated 🙂, all the F-series are cast the same so all variations of brackets will fit, but if there specific to the pump I will find out when they arrive, I suppose.🤔 However the Accord, Shuttle, later RA6 odyssey brackets for the alternator looked different but seem to be positioned exactly the same in terms of aliment with two different belt lengths, with one bracket pushing the alternator further up in respect of a slight difference the harmonic balancer pulley, but I can test swap anything around until I'm happy then share some info for others, new pump is 500+ pump refurb 200+.😵 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 18, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that the pump is the same with different brackets for different models. The A/C compressor on the 827 is also used on the 820 but with different brackets - the assemblies carry different part numbers and prices as a result. If memory serves the suction pipe has to be moved through 90 degrees on the flange plate that bolts to the top of the compressor, simple enough job. I'm guessing (and hoping for you) that something similar exists on the PAS pumps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I still got the matching pump from a breaker, a used spare from Japan was £170.00 ish 🤨 so 80 ish on three used pumps and compatible potential, bargain🤪 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted July 9, 2020 Author Administrators Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 After repairing the leaks on the salvaged power steering pump and refilling with my preferred PAS fluid the oddy is roadworthy again, couple more jobs before its MOT in a couple of weeks.😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted July 9, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Did you use one of the pumps you got or just do a seal replacement on the existing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I repaired my original pump with all new seals a couple of years ago, and the shaft bearing failed on it recently. So I fitted the like for like used pump and that started to leak too, so swapped over the newish seals over to the used replacement unit. The other pumps I have which are part of compatibility testing need the brackets, so I am on the search atm, anyway hope that makes sense Pete. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted November 12, 2020 Author Administrators Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Little love for the oddy today, replaced the upper arms with some I refurbished from a coupe, old ones are still good just the ball joint rubber/ dust covers starting to split so will order some new ones.👊 Yes motor needs a wash 😋 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too right! Too van-like for what i'd need/want most of the time but as an estate car, perfect. If i ever had to replace the Volvo, the Odyssey, CRV and 5th gen Accord Aerodeck would be on the short-list. Meanwhile i'm doing the same as you and spoiling it to prolong its life. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never wanna get stuck with some Eurotrash, rather keep a jap motor going (make it easier to live with too) that was built to a standard, not a price. Your Volvo is a prime example of taking pride in your motor, all the time and effort and money you've put into it just makes more sense to keep it going, than drive a junker into the ground as most would. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted December 10, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Very true Stu, likewise having the welding done on my Sterling. Much better the devil you know regardless of make but if it's one you know will reward you with reliability in return for some TLC then it's a no-brainer! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
