Randy_Baton Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Steering starting making a whirring noise at the end of May, noticed the PS reservoir was at minimum so topped it up. That fixed it but it started again yesterday. Looked at the reservoir and can see the pipes just underneath it are damp. Looks like the leak is coming from the flex tube where it connect to the reservoir. Looks pretty simple with the wheel off? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-V-IoQStZhU does this video apply to all Zeds (I'm a DE). I only have the jack that comes with the car though, so might ask my garage to do it when they change the brake discs in October. Are hoses also universal across all zeds?

Coz@TORQEN Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Attached a schematic below of the DE power steering hoses. Feel free to locate the specific one and drop me a PM so I can confirm pricing and lead time. Personally, I wouldn't be doing anything on the Jack the car comes with, at the very minimum stick some axle stands or blocks of wood as a safeguard under the sills. If they're already down there doing the brakes, I can't see them charging you more than 1 hour (at a push) to get this fitted at the same time.

I think its just the rubber hose that comes from the right side of the reservoir. Looks like any hose cut to size would work. Fairly sure the leak is coming from where it connects to the reservoir. Looks like i might be able to change it from the engine bay. Getting the clips on underneath the reservoir will be a PITA though. Any idea what size hose it is?

ZMANALEX Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 You require the correct hose for the pas. It is a high pressure hose and is also formed. I should have this in stock. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
