sgunitkc Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I was planning to find a used one to replace it, but it's probably going to leak again... what is the best way to fix this problem? Anyone got this done around Socal? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrabusCClass Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I have the same problem. I saw some places that sell it new for $8. Looks like exactly what I need but Im not sure. Maybe Ill try to fix it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Ill try to fix it myself. Mine's not leaking too badly...just a lil drip once in a while i see in the bottom cover. I'm going to try to look for someone who can make me a custom hose that can withstand the pressure better than stock ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLS Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 You're not going to fix anything for $8. The hose is a triple layer multi threaded high pressure hose. Using anything but OEM or an alternate made for that purpose using the same material is like hooking garden hose to a fire hydrant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 there are places that can rebuild your original hose for a reasonable price. if you dont feel like looking in the yellow pages for a hose supply/repair place an oem hose was i think close to $400.

esska11 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 just be sure you get it fixed otherwise the power steering fluid can leak all over some important stuff and cause you a whole world of problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhomer Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 It sounds like the o'rings are bad, not the hose. There are a couple of small o'rings in the fitting that can go bad. They are only $4 a piece, but probably need to be replaced by the dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
