wsinclair87 2 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi guys, I recently ran in to a problem concerning my power steering. The 4mo has been off the road for around 10 months, with the odd jump start to make sure she is still alive. So I decided to book her in for an MOT next week to see what the damage is going to be (I knew she would need a few things anyway). I jump started her after coming from the garage, then moved her along the residential car park, when I noticed some white smoke and power steering failing. Upon parking up and looking under, I could see a leak from one of the pipes (see pic). I am wondering where I could source one fairly cheap as I have been looking on Ebay etc but no luck and the garage said that anything to do with power steering is usually expensive work. Help much appreciated ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_VR6 0 Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Coincidentally had a similar scenario with my Mk3 power steering lines recently. I found the solution was taking the pipes off and getting a local hydraulic company (mainly dealing with diggers and forklifts) to make up a new set using the original metal components.

wsinclair87 2 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thanks for the input. I have had someone offer me the set for £50 posted, just waiting on him dismantling the car. In the meantime I'm ripping out my interior to tackle the dreaded water in footwell issue ?
