RS2 rack to pump hose?

[GT500]

After Pirtec cocked mine up has anyone got one? Am sure its the same on a ABY.
Goes from the hydraulic pump to the steering rack, has a coil of steel pipe as bolts to the rack.

Cheers,

I have rebuildit mine and is working supper. In the middle is an reduction pece, dont forget to fit that back in. You have to have some shops were you can go with the old hd hose and refit new one on old connection pieces, no?
Hope this helps!

as i have all 3 hoses with my local Pirtek, exactly how did they **** up the job???

[GT500]

they put back the restricor back in (plasic thin pipe) but could have not got it to seat.
The result is moaning every time you steer, and low effort or parking amount of lock.
They say the ends won't take another crimp,"get a new hose" they said, thanks they cost a sodding fortune!cry

yep i couldn't believe how much the lines were from Audi, one i had priced up was £175+vat i thought they were joking

[GT500]

As usual, down to the opporator of the machinery!

[s2driveruk]

did they ever sort that pipe out or did you just change it out for an original???

[GT500]

No, tossas!
I have tempory one at the mo, Many thanks Noel!

Will have to keep an eye on the bay, or get dry bummed for a stealer one!

Hate spending when it won't go any faster/nicer!

I've got some p/s pipes, some from an aby, which one do you need?

[GT500]

Its for a LHD RS2, its quite abit shorter than a RHD ABY, the rack end has about 5 coils in it (spaces it up out the way of the steering arms.

Can you help?

[sal_s2]

Never broke a LHD, can an aby one be shortened/modded to fit?

[GT500]

It can, thats whats on a the mo,
Looks abit naff,

[s2driveruk]

hmm, my pump is now a bit whiney after getting all the pipes remade by pirtek. It could be the system needs a proper bleed but after reading you problem above i wonder if they had the same issue seating that restrictor....

[GT500]

Thats just what I thought at first, sounds like some air in there, but no. With an un ******ed about by pirtec hose the whine goes instantly and the steering feels much nicer.

[s2driveruk]

i wonder whether its too restrictive then causing the oil to foam or something. Steering feels fine to be honest and it only moved 40 miles before the rear diff seal put it back on axle stands so i can't be sure yet, after 600+ miles this coming weekend i'll know one way or the other!
