Golf Mk3 Power steering leak - Peter D

I appear to have a leak from the metal pipe work going from the Header to the rack. Hoewever this pipe costs £85+ vat. Has ontone repaired these as it is not under pressure. Using steel pipes was never a good ideal. Regards Peter

Golf Mk3 Power steering leak - defender

Peter its very easy to fit ordinary hydraulic pipes,any tractor dealer will make them to size if you take the old one in to see which ends to put on,if it does not have pressure in it as in a return pipe you could cut the leaking bit out and replace it with a piece of reinforced hydraulic hose slipped over the ends and held with hose clips
