Rebuild Evo 7-9 GSR AYC diff pump unit
AYC diff pump unit rebuild prices start at €500,- ex VAT.
AYC Diff Pump Rebuild
A common problem with the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is a malfunctioning AYC / ACD hydraulic pump unit. These pumps are fitted to the Evo 4-6 GSR and on all models of the Evo 7-9. A broken AYC pump will be indicated on the dashboard by an AYC warning light on the Evo 4-6 and 3 lit diff mode lights on the Evo 7-9.
When the AYC pump is not functioning the handling of the Lancer Evolution will not be up to spec anymore. The diffs are controlled by hydraulics and when the pump is not functioning the diffs are not able to distribute the engine power to the wheels effectively.
Van Hoof Sport is, in most cases, able to rebuild the AYC pump units. A new AYC pump unit will cost around €2500,- so it’s very expensive. A rebuild will be a much cheaper solution to get the handling of your Lancer Evolution back up to spec.
First the AYC diff pump unit will be checked with special equipment to diagnose the exact problem of the failure.
Next the AYC pump unit will be disassembled, cleaned and the exterior will be sand blasted. All parts will be inspected and the defective parts will be replaced. After reassembling the AYC diff pump unit it will be tested on a test bench to check if the pump and valves function correctly.
When the pump unit has been succesfully tested it will be refitted to the vehicle and the hydraulic system will be bled with the aid of special testing equipment.
