    Hydraulic metal hose - alternatives?

    I have a small leak in the metal corrugated cooling hose running to the PAS pump. A new is available - yay! But cost ~128 euro

    Can I use a rubber hose or patch the metal hose - suggestions appreciated.

    This hose is a mini heat sink for the hydraulic fluid, its not under pressue so you could patch it no problems. You could even delete it all together if you came up with some other cooling arrangement for the fluid

    IIRC its stainless steel so you should be able to weld it easy enough to repair it

      OK - i feared it was aluminium - I can braze stainless at home. Thanks!
