Power assited steering
« on: 07 February 2004, 22:34 »
Ok finally managed to get to track down my PAS leak, it's coming from the boot on the passenger side of the bellows.

How easy is this to replace (and what needs to be replaced) it's a home do-able 2 spanner job or should I stick it into my local expert?

How much would this cost?

Agree with '6, your problem is more than the boot. The rack is leaking internaly filling the boot with pas fluid and leaking out. Replacement rack required ::).
