Mk2 16v Power steering hose woes

[Neo Badness]

 I'm in the process of putting my mk2 16v through it's MOT and it's failed on power steering not working.

Have a '91 mk2 16v, I bought the car knowing that previous owner had removed the old pump but he included a replacement part.

However, I didn't clock that he had butchered the high pressure hose + connection. I've been quoted 157.50 plus the VAT for it and understandably I'm looking for alternatives.

Question 1. will my '94 mk3 16v power steering hoses fit the mk2 rack and pump?

Question 2. Does anyone know the part number for the hose on the high pressure side?

Question 3. If all else fails how straight forward is it to fit a manual rack?

Many thanks in advance

Get down to Pirtek and get a replacement hose made up - good quality and normally not dear.

ok you asked for it 
192 422 893 A - 157.19+VAT

Only potential problem I can see is if the pump etc was removed due to a faulty rack! then either way you'll have to replace it. the MK3 one will fit but you'll need to use the MK3 UJ and track rods.
1 thing, be VERY carefull doing up the unions to the rack, space is very limited and it is easy to cross thread them

Just for info pirtek don't like making power steering hoses due to hse issues.

ORLY?

'Just for info' there didn't seem to be any issues getting a hose made up last autumn.  We took the car down there to get them to make it up, too.  No one batted an eyelid.

Maybe you're confusing this with their not making up fuel hoses, which they absolutely will not do.

You were lucky, I work with hydraulics and use pirtek a lot, they have a company policy of not making brake / fuel or power steering hoses, it has something to due with hse regs, they may have done yours as a one off.

There's a fella on here that makes up recon racks and hoses and bits. His names Flakey or summet.

Change the title of the thread to something relevant and he might spot it.
