Well, after 27 years it would seem that my PAS feed hose from the reservoir to the pump had started to disintegrate and had a slight fluid weep.
I trundled off to Toyota and £43+VAT later I had a new hose (that's with 15% discount). Expensive I know, but it's one of those things you'll only replace once, so might as well fit the correct part. Old hose in Situ, seen going behind the sheathed AC pipe: I had a cunning plan for getting the fluid out of the reservoir. This involved using a syringe and some vacuum hose I had lying around: A quick delve into the recycling and a suitable vessel for temporary storage of power steering fluid was procured: Got the hose off without too much of a struggle really. That power steering fluid is really horrible stuff, it's all slippery and slimey and stinks (not as bad as gear oil though!): There was still a little fluid in the reservoir which I caught with a small pan. New hose popped on dead easy. This is the beauty of OEM parts over finding an appropriate hose to fit I guess: Pump end: Reservoir end: Then it was just a matter of re-using the power steering fluid and job done. 1985 Sprinter Trueno GT Apex 2013 GT86 Miltek Exhaust, Injen Induction. |
