Fitting guide: electric pump for a Quickshift gearbox

Replacing the electric pump of a Quickshift robotised gearbox is not complicated: allow a little under an hour on average. Our electric pumps are now supplied complete with their pump: they fit straight in, with no part to transfer from the old one. The pump-transfer step shown in the video is therefore no longer needed.

Equipment needed

• New electric pump, supplied complete with its pump (available on leverandco.eu)
• Robot oil (available here)
• 10 mm socket and 13 mm open-end spanner
• Ratchet with Torx T30 bit
• Large syringe and drip tray
• Protective gloves

Fitting steps

1. Preparing the vehicle

Park the vehicle on level ground, handbrake on, ignition off. Empty the oil reservoir as much as possible with the large syringe, then place a tray under the electric pump to catch the oil that will run out.

2. Accessing the electric pump

Tip: depending on the vehicle, remove the driver's-side headlight with the 10 mm socket. The electric pump is much easier to remove and take out through this opening.

3. Removing the old electric pump

Loosen the nut of the rigid pipe at the end of the pump (13 mm spanner) and unplug the electric pump connector. It is held by three Torx T30 screws: two at the top, one at the bottom. Tip: remove only the two top screws, then lever the top of the electric pump with a large flat screwdriver to free the bottom fixing. Finish loosening the rigid pipe and take the unit out.

4. Fitting the new electric pump

The new electric pump is supplied complete with its pump: put it straight in place, without dismantling anything. Screw the 13 mm nut of the rigid pipe on by hand, refit the two top screws, tighten the nut with the 13 mm spanner and plug the connector back in.

5. Oil level

Set the oil level cold to 38 mm above the reservoir seam. Switch the ignition on: the level should drop to the horizontal seam of the reservoir. No bleeding or reprogramming is needed: air bubbles rise into the reservoir by themselves the first time the ignition is switched on. Do not overfill, or the reservoir will overflow when the vehicle is left standing for more than 48 hours.

Tips for a successful fitting

• Replace the accumulator too: the accumulator and the electric pump wear out together. With a tired accumulator, a new electric pump runs too often and burns out again within a few weeks.
• No second-hand parts: a used electric pump or accumulator may look fine from the outside with no way of knowing its internal condition.
• Safety: check that the rigid pipe is tight to avoid any leak.
