Pipes to power steering reserviour
« on: 22 January 2009, 17:47:08 »

The 2 pipes connecting to the power steering reserviour seem quite tricky to get to. Is it possible to move the cluster of wires and the heater hose which is causing an obstruction easily?

Thanks.

I changed my steering pump last year but don't remember access being too bad. I didn't remove any of the cables above it to do it.

I'll have a go at it and let you know how I get on. Basically there is a slow leak at the reservoir, so I'll change the jubilee clips over for now and see how that goes.

A bottle of GM power steering fluid cost me about 7 quid here. The japense equivalent is half this price! :o

Any good Dex II ATF would be suitable.

Access is not to bad....you could disconnect the ECU and pull the loom out but, its not realy worth it.

It is worth removing the PAS fluid res from its bracket to get better access
