hkmonaro68 said:You can purchase the solenoid seperately, i wouldnt try repairing it, very thin wires. The connector to unplug it is clipped to the front of the strut tower, kind of in front of the ABS unit. You will need to unbolt the 2 securing bolts, 19mm socket underneath and an 18mm nut on top. You can just pull rack back enough so that you can get a spanner/shifter/multigrips onto the solenoid.

The teflon material has been the same for zonks but there was a dimensional change from the VS to VT because of a different design of gear and then later I think VT2 that the piston clearance was increased to accomodate foreign material and therefore the thickness of the teflon had to be increased but only the piston teflon. The sleeve teflons have remained the same since the mid 80's.
If the VT is a series 1 5ltr, then it will be the teflon crumbling. Trust me ive cleaned out a few systems and rebuilt many pumps.

Great thanks for that.
It's a L67.
I'll try my old solenoid in there (my car also has an L67), if that doesn't fix the problem, We'll have to look elsewhere.
Thanks for the pointers, I found them out about 6 months ago changing the rack in my car. Wasn't the easiest in my garage... HAHAHA
Cheers,
