Powersteering spraying out of crosshead bolt

[K Simmonds]

I have a kit or two tucked away 'somewhere' will try and find them today as their still in the original packaging still so should have the part No on the bag.

If your stuck you can get really high grade O-rings of exactly the correct size from a hydraulic systems specialist, these will take the pressure.

Though obviously the proper repair kit is preferable.

aww thank you so much! Id really appreciate that

If you need anything from TPS let me know as I have an account with them, and I'll send it with your Tradition order

Thank you so much! I would deffo take you up on your offer. I can send a bit extra for you, for your trouble. Thank you. Are we awaiting the part numbers?
I would prob be into the cap and also the kit together.

This is what your after, I got these in 2013, pretty sure they're now NLA though. If you can't get one I'll take the exact dimensions of the O-ring for you so you can source a replacement. Normal O-rings don't stand a chance.

Well no wonder I couldn't find it in Etka. It's not listed for the S2 or RS2 models.

These are the models that part number covers according to Etka.

A100
A10
A10Q
A200
A20Q
A6Q
A8
A8Q
S6PQ
Audi V8

Also made obsolete 01/05/2017. Not available from Tradition either.

Typical bloody Etka!

I did think they'd gone NLA.

I'll measure the O-ring properly and post the dimensions.

Alex, error404 may be able to help, he rebuilds these/converts to single stage.

Massive thank you broski! this all helps.

Thank you to everyone!

A friend of mine has said get the dimensions and go to a hydraulic / plumber specialist and get a heavy duty o ring. I believe the Cap to still be in good condition.
Massive thanks guys! We gotta keep these cars on the road!

That's a very good idea... I bet he's got O-rings in stock.

No problem trying to help Chris, that's what this forum is for mate.

Would you be able to send me the dimensions of that o ring please? massive thank you - Legend!

[K Simmonds]

Am at my folks place at the moment but when I get home this evening I'll measure it with a Vernier caliper for you.

[K Simmonds]

Right, I've tried measuring the O-ring and it's actually really difficult to get precise enough figures to be of any use, even with a decent caliper it's really frustratingly tricky!

I can get dimensions accurate to 0.5mm but because the ring is flexible it really hard to measure properly without using a micrometer. I do have a couple but both are it in imperial as I tend to work in thousands of an inch when doing engine work and my brain isn't up to converting thou to mm today.

As it sounds like the car isn't drivable your best bet would be to remove the old O-ring and take it to a hydraulics specialist who will find you a high pressure one that's a good match.

Hey thank you, I took it out
used ruler
12mm outer diameter
2 x 2mm thickness width and height

Will take to specialists.
Thank you for your efforts

[K Simmonds]

No problem, perhaps I was trying to be over precise with my measurements! Your best bet is to do as you say and take the old one along with you.
