1.6.3 Checking the flow rate of the ZF pump
N
ote:
Specified values for flow rate, test pressure and test speed: see table below. Designations and
operation of tool [1] (ZF Servotest power steering tester 6..): see separate operating instructions
for ZF Servotest 6.. .
Checking the controlled flow rate
Raise the engine speed until the pump flow rate remains constant despite a further increase in
speed (approx. 1300 r.p.m.)
The pump is now in the flow setting range.
Specified value: see spare parts list
Checking the minimum flow rate
With the engine running at idling speed, progressively close the shut-off valve until the test pres-
sure specified for the pump type in question is built up.
Read the flow rate.
Make sure the engine speed/pump speed ratio is correct.
