Pressure Hose on Power Steering...

[1991_Vn2nV]

Anyone having trouble with the pressure hoses on their power steering?

Mine came loose... Went through an entire bottle of coolant overnight... Didnt notice til today when it was making massive sounds driving through the hills...

Rang the RAA as I had no power steering oil left in the car anyway (normally carry a bottle but used it the previous day)... RAA came out, said it was the 3rd VN in 2 weeks with the same problem.

So im just wondering if its something to do with the pipe fitting or what?

mine actually got a little pin hole in it and sprayed all over the extractors and caught on fire, luckily there was no damage cos i put it out in time

Yea its a comon problem i cant count how many people have had problems with theirs. Not all that cheap to replace either.

its because its a crap seal made from plastic. over time they shrink and they leak som times the flare nut comes loose
