im having a hard time getting my ps to work properly.

the car is a rhd mk3 chassis, 2j swapped, running is300 powersteering pump with the resi that mounts directly ontop of it. after market high pressure line.

i was having issues initially and i switched the entire pump and resevoir assembly out for a used unit, it then worked for a few days and now we are back at square one. the fluid is at the correct level and when given throttle it still builds a bit of pressure. could this be a problem with the rack?

your power steering doesnt work but it full of fluid? sounds like the filter/screen is plugged in the tank, not letting fliud thru (which was the problem with my 7m, or the check valve in the pump isnts working, due to dirt or other contaminats. its part 44330 in the 2nd pic

i found these diagrams on one though
