Power steering hose
« on: 28 May 2012, 00:59 »
Need new power steering hose from pump to reservoir this doesnt have any fancy fitting on it that im aware.. Can i just use a piece of oil proof hosing ? if not what hose can i use as people on ebay seem to be selling this piece from £85 to £100 which is expensive.. Would rather cut it perfect fit for my car from a length of hose..

This is ABF into mk2 with mk2 rack.. Am i ok using the mk3 pump or do i need to fit mk2 pump somehow ??

Confused dot com  :grin:
You have ABF from MK3 into a MK2 so pump is from MK3 right?
The pipe itself in question should have an open end at reservoir? Doesn’t it not have a solid metal pipe with nut union for the pump?
You need hydraulic pipe that can handle pressure from the pump otherwise it will break.
If you have a straight through pipe with no nut union on either ends, then just find suitable length of Hydraulic pipe and clamp on!

That's cheap. Minimum price is 5er round my way for anything! The hoses would be 20quid! Bolt your mk2 pump onto the abf engine, just use all mk2 pas stuff. Although I think the mk2 lines still fit the mk3 pump, even though the mk3 uses a banjo rather than the mk2 formed end
