Oh Deer! (new bomb?)

[1fastben]

That would make a lot of sense, because after I filled the PS resevoir, I didn't have the brake problem at all. Of course, now that its leaked enough, the problem is back. Imagine that. So cool, just replace the hoses and clamps?

A lot better than buying a new f-ing bomb.

Thanks for the reply! I was beginning to think they were starting a conspiracy against me on this forum.

My bomb arrived this morning, it's brand new in a sealed Febi Bilstein box. You'll need to supply your chassis number as there are different ones according to the year of the car, mine is an early one , part number 26537.



www.custom-auto-craft.com highly recommended.

Looks like I spoke too soon, don't order from Custom autocraft just yet as they don't fit. One of the fittings on the side is too big. I'll let you know what Paul has too say.

It seems there are 2 different 'bombs' for the 3B and i got the wrong one. To his credit Paul posted the correct one out straight away and I got it in a couple of days. This is now fitted and has made a huge difference to the brakes.



The one on the right is the later type with a sqaure lower half, the other is the early type with a round bottom half.
If anybody wants a brand new bomb for an early 3B, let me know before I send it back to Luxembourg.
Febi part number 25537
Audi part number : 893 612 061C

£100 delivered.

£100 delivered is a great price, got the details as i will change mine when i get the engine out.....not least as the pipe running off the top to a 'T' is weeping.

Are the ABY bombs all the same? and which Febi number are they?

[Rusty]

Not sure mate, the one from custom autocraft works fine though and was a bargain at about £100 delivered. Have you tried to contact Paul?

[Bram]

I have a new bomb as well ordered from Paul. Do I need to bleed the brakes again after fitting the bomb?

[gedu]

bomb isn't connected to brake fluid, so you shouldn't need to bleed your brakes after changing it.

here is what I have found is mostly the problem with the "Bomb" fittied for our cars in this country.
The hose clamps SUCK AND LEAK like a sieve. Are you seeing PS fluid covering certain places on the system?
Take a look at the hoses going into the PS reservoir and other connections. The hose clamps are not holding the pressure correctly. Alot of guys in the States have replaced these POS with FI clamps.
I haven't had a problem since.

Guys
Also just want to check. Are we talking power steering or brake fluid?
