Help fitting p.a.s. hose

Postby andpap » Wed 15.10.2014, 08:49

Can anyone offer some advice in fitting new p.a.s. hose reservoir to rack. Part no. B100H0039F was ordered from Sjsportscars ( Original now obsolete ) proved challenging to fit to say the least.
Alternator had to be moved away but finally in place.
Problem is that it leaks from the hose ( pump ) end when steering on full lock. Any ideas/advice greatly appreciated.

Power steering pipes can be a bit of a challenge. :?

The low pressure return pipe is held on by a jubilee clip accessible from under the RH (from the rear) light pod. Worth checking or replacing, I always use 1/4 drive sockets for jubilee clips, much easier than screwdrivers.

The high pressure connection to the pump has an O-ring which may be past its best, for some reason the pump is shown in the engine section. See diagram 40.25a item 2

Best way to get at this is to remove the heatshield and use a 19mm ratchet ring.

I had to replace 3 of my pipes due to corrosion, shearing and one of them leaking at the crimp where the hose joins the fitting, check there as well. I had new ones made at a hydraulic specialist for a reasonable price.

If you can't be a good example, then you might as well be a terrible warning
