Saabnut Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 If going the hose/jubilee clip method, make sure you flare the ends of the pipes to give the clips something to purchase on, PAS is high pressure and they will blow off without a flare.

AnthonyG Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Some of DW’s cheap buys are canny bargains, others are End of Life vehicles. I suspect this is one of the latter. It’s sold though, so maybe I’ll be proved wrong!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayts450 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 That should be low pressure side I would have thought - the Isaac Hunt tried and tested chewing gum to stem the flow, degrease, sand down, and slap some JB Weld or Araldite on for the win* (Well it nearly worked on the Rover 620, but seems I missed another hole - I did go from pissing PS fluid and no power steering to tiny MOT-failworthy drip and the return of power steering).

Judging by the way it's spraying out all over the place, I would say it is not... On the plus side DW you got to see Southport. And today, dangerously close to Blackpool.

New POD Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 And today, dangerously close to Blackpool. The glamour!Oh, on a clear day you can see Blackpool, and a few less geographically aware people have attempted to walk across. I mean it's only maybe 10 miles to Lythum st Anne's. Only problem is the River Ribble. 45 miles by Road, via Preston. So close and yet so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey spud Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 It is the return pipe from rack to pump so it's low pressure compared to the pump to rack plumbing. Very bodgeable in an emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I'm not going to make any smug remarks along the lines of shouldn't have sold the Favorit, honest. Don't even have power steering pipes. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Just started watching the Myrtle vid, and as you mentioned the Mazda - I'm considering 'deleting' (very MX5 term) the PAS cooler by connecting the two pipes shown with a red line in this parts diagram. I'm guessing that would work for you? Just need to work out how to connect the two pipes to prevent leaks... Though I guess no PAS cooler on a track day could be an issue!

The Moog Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Ah, yes you've done this yourself when you were Mr Moog on your thread?Yep. Just 15mm copper and bend it or stick 90 degrees bends on it. Then Jubilee clips and jobs a goodun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
