Replace a diagnosed faulty steering pump with this Genuine Mercedes-Benz / Hydraulik-Ring Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering Pump (Part No: A1684660501) . The original unit carries manufacturer reference 14.101 002 and provides electrically driven hydraulic assistance for the power steering system.
Loss of steering assistance can also result from electrical supply, wiring, low or aerated hydraulic fluid, leaks or other steering-system faults. Correct diagnosis is recommended before replacing the pump.
Possible Power Steering Pump Fault Symptoms
- Heavy Steering Reduced or lost power assistance can make the steering noticeably heavier, particularly during low-speed manoeuvring. Electrical supply and hydraulic-system checks should be completed before replacing the pump.
- Abnormal Pump Noise Excessive whining, humming or motor noise may occur with pump wear, low fluid, aeration or other hydraulic-system problems.
- Intermittent Steering Assistance Steering assistance that operates intermittently may indicate an electrical, pump-motor or hydraulic-system fault and should be professionally diagnosed.
Fitment & Technical FAQ for Mercedes A-Class (1997 - 2004) Steering System Part #A168-466-0501
Heavy steering or abnormal pump noise can occur when the electro-hydraulic power steering system develops a fault. Possible causes include the pump motor, hydraulic pump, low or aerated fluid, electrical supply, wiring or hydraulic leaks. The system should be correctly diagnosed before replacing the pump.
Yes. Part number A1684660501 (and its predecessors like 1684660301) is the standard OEM unit for the entire W168 A-Class range (1997-2004) and the Mercedes Vaneo. It is a direct "plug-and-play" replacement for these Australian-delivered models.
Yes. The hydraulic system must be filled with the correct Mercedes-Benz-approved power steering fluid and properly bled after pump installation. Follow the Mercedes workshop bleeding procedure and check the system for leaks and abnormal pump noise before returning the vehicle to service.
The matching W168 electro-hydraulic steering pump generally does not require control-unit software programming or adaptation. Correct electrical installation, hydraulic-fluid filling and system bleeding are still required.
