1.6 and 1.8 BG pumps look and costs the same but they have different part numbers.......! (available as a whole unit).

A 1.8 BA pump is considerably more £'s than the BG version (available as a whole unit OR individual parts).

So I'd say - NO and NO................ :angry7:

did you double check andy?

Ok then, they're not the same, BUT, the mounting points on the blocks look very similar, as do the brackets, the only problem you might hit is how far the pully is mounted out board of the pump itself. The only real way to tell is to offer the bust one up to a BA in a scrap yard!!!

a**e, a**e, a**e, on closer instection, it would appear that the connections to the pump are different too, the push on pipe is no problem, but the banjo bolt is on the front of the BA pump, and on top of the BG pump, plus the hoses are pre-formed pipe for the first 4/5 inches or so!!!!

Shaaggy, which power steering piping are you using, BA or BG????

one here too....
what makes you think its two?

ARBs connect the two side together. As far as I know, there can only be one.

unless there`s a lower strut brace on the GTX....

you can buy aftermarket ones.

That wouldn't change the number of ARBs though.
