Hi
Any1 knows the difference between the pumps of the power assistance of energyes and valvers?
I need to know if I can switch for a valver (if it is possible) pump, once I changed the tyres size from 175/65/14 to 195/15/50
TIA

it is completely different, you wont be able to use a 16V one on the energy. |

So, I take it they both have same specs?
The reason I'm asking is, since I upgraded the wheels, on more irregular floor, the car seems to have a will of itself...

did you get new tyres fitted?
Has the tracking angle been adjusted? |

Yes and yes
I think due to wider tyres the assistance is more difficult, thus the question about the pump...
Or should I look for the suspension mounts of the valvers?

theres a problem with your car somewhere, as they are fine with 18's on the 1.4 pumps and plenty on non ps 1.4s run 17's |
