DIY Fluid transer pump

[a17322a]

Hi all,

Thanks everyone for all the tips and tricks to help maintain my 02 996 Cab and 04 Cayenne S and I just wanted to contribute back showing everyone how to make a simple and cheap fluid transfer pump, I've used this succesfully to pump in ATF into my 2002 911 with tiptronic transmission (mercedes 722.6 tranny) when doing a drain a fill and I have a second pump to pump differential fluid into the differential of my Cayenne S.

 

I bought the parts from Lowes and total cost was about $15. Everything is direct fit and no cutting/modding or anything neccessary. Just simply remove the end of the sprayer and insert the white plastic tube instead of using the garden sprayer nozzle, Just make sure the supplied o-ring is used.  Simple!

 

Parts list and item number from Lowes:
(Garden Sprayer/Pump) - Project Source #0058855
(Plastic Hose) - Watts #443432 (LSPFD10) (Polyethylene Tubing - 130 PSI - 5/16'' OD X 3/16" ID x 10ft)

Thanks,

Awesome!

 

I've seen the garden sprayers used for brake bleeding before, but not for transmission fluid, etc. Makes prefect sense. 

 

Thanks for the video.

Motive also makes one for those uninclined to build one themselves:

I had thought about picking a Motive bleeder up, but it looks like I'll have to take my 996 somewhere that has the proper scan tool to flush/bleed my brakes, as my car is equipped with PSM. Doh! Edited January 6, 2015 by thewheelman

You only need to bleed the PSM and ABS if the system has been open and gotten air into it.

I've been using the motive product for many years - a worthwhile investment for any car or shop (IMHO).
