A4 Power Steering failure

[whiteVR6]

thats where your power steering pump is

****.

Are they expensive? How hard are they to fit?

[whiteVR6]

Is it at the front or back of the engine??

A new one would be about $740

As for fitting it, I dont know coz I've never done one but you can give Seb @ Euro Automotive a call on 0410541322, he'll be able to help you out.

Its the pipe that runs across the back of the engine bay. If you remove it and take it to pirtek, they will crimp new ends on it for $100 or so

Cheers for that mate, I'll have a look when I get home.

Will the system self prime afterwards?

Good call but another thing to check there bud is have a feel at the rack boots and see if they are squishy with fluid. If they are full you need a recon or replacement 2nd hand or the likes, just done one 2 days ago. Also have done MANY of the pipes Loon is talking about. Make sure pirtek keeps the profile exactly right as its an absolute nightmare on Elm st fitting the banjo to the rack if its out a bit

I guess its all relative isnt it . Ive only ever changed 1 hose and a few racks but replaced many leaky/noisey pumps
