driveability

Sooner or later your main ABC hose will blow off. I had a hose made about 18 months ago and the idea was to replace the old one before it failed.
Well as it seems to go I didn't install it. Today the hose coming from the pump failed.
i installed the new hose but the car wouldn't rise or fall and the big red ABC message was staying on. I felt the pump needed priming. I pressurized the reservoir with a small air compressor. After that the system came to life and all seems good.
FYI,
Pressurizing the reservoir with an electric tire pump, approx 15 psi thought I would share that with the forum.

Been driving the car today and the pump is making a slight whining sound at higher rpm. looks like its time to replace it. Going to order a rebuilt unit, any advise as where to buy ?? I have over 100k on this pump so its really overdue. I've owned this car since 2011 and its really grown on me. I haven't driven any other car that gives me the scene of control this one does.

Wow! 100k miles on the pump. That gives me hope. Mine is coming up on 50k miles and have been getting nervous. I've changed the fluid and filter in the system twice already so hoping to get that kind of mileage out of it.

My pump would be great if I had replaced the hose before it blew and ran the PUMP dry !!!!!!! Im going with a rebuilt unit. Pray for me LOL I am sure its a gamble but I got the pump and have a good feeling about it. It spins nicely, firm and consistent. The thing is the steering side is making noise on mine now after the blown hose.
