Power Steering hose help?
Noticed today the bottom power steering pipe has a small leak in it which is dripping in the engine bay, i believe it is the supply line pipe.
Can anyone help with a part number? Think i have tracked it down on ebay below but want to fit a new pipe rather than one off a 1998 car http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A8-D2...3D131894268086 Thanks all

http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=11336 It does seem to be that, over the last year or two, a lot more parts have become 'no longer available' for these cars. With the PS hoses at least, I suppose it should be possible to have new ones custom made, assuming they use standard couplings/ends.

The pressure hose has a rather fancy fitting at the pump end with a small nozzle inside it leading to a 3mm nylon tube inside the main hose. When Mike & I were looking at it I think we concluded it was constant pressure, variable flow. Further research suggests it also has a noise reduction role. I do know that without it the pump whines constantly as I originally replaced mine with a simple piece of 10mm hydraulic hose after seeing the price of a new OE hose. After 6 months of over-assisted noisy steering I gave up and bought a good used hose from our sponsors which I de-rusted and painted, and paired that with a new old stock return hose which I found on ebay. No more whine, and much better weigh to the steering. I daresay it will be possible to contrive something similar when there are no more new or used hoses left but its going to be quite complicated to do. |
