doh, as per subject
anyone know how much this costs to fix?
The US hose is US$400! surely I can just go down to the local power steering shop and get them to jimmy up something...?
damn I'm a student now I can't afford to fix this car anymore .. :(
what model ? and which pipe ?
yeah most decent places, can take the connections off and reconnect a new piece of pipe ...
but some times they have a piece inside that equalizes pressure ? and if missing may make the steering groan or sing. :laugh:
it's cheaper to get one made up, $279 excl for a MK4 Golf
ah yeah 94 S4, the US hose has the flow regulator piece that needs to be reused, so I guess the EU model does too.
Guess that puts my car off the road until I return from my summer job next year. :/
I have one $100.00
still for sale?
Sent it to hoses.net.nz in Lower Hutt $290 + GST
Steering works perfectly, hose looks solid.

seems a lot but I don't think I'll have to replace it again for the life of the vehicle, also the guy was very good to deal with over the phone and finished the job quickly.
