paulh2602601 Posted yesterday at 02:28 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:28 PM Hi This morning, I heard a terrible screech from the wheel. The power steering pipes—two sections—that connect the pump to the steering box and the one that attaches beneath the alternator were promptly identified by a local handyman as requiring replacement. Having severe leaks! I think the SL shop can assist with the metal one (A1294603324), but they don't have the rubber one (A1294662681), as far as I'm informed. Do you have any suggestions about where I should take this? I simply drive the dang thing; I simply do not possess the necessary technical knowledge or comprehension. Someone complimented the car's appearance only yesterday, and now I'm slightly freaking out. I am thankful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_raven Posted yesterday at 02:29 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:29 PM Making a duplicate using the original as a template should be no problem for your neighbourhood Pirtek store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolguy Posted yesterday at 02:29 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:29 PM Regarding the initial response. If you can provide the exact dimensions and fittings, any hydraulic hose manufacturer can manufacture a suitable replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulh2602601 Posted yesterday at 02:31 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 02:31 PM I apologise if this is a really basic issue, but I'm not sure how to specify the hose and its fittings. Is the standard available someplace, or do they need to view the car—which is leaking terribly and I shouldn't be driving—? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_raven Posted yesterday at 02:32 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:32 PM Take the hose off the vehicle and provide it to them so they may replicate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulh2602601 Posted yesterday at 02:32 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 02:32 PM It sounds so simple when you put it that way! I will return to the garage to get it removed once I receive a response from Pirtek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1too Posted yesterday at 02:33 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:33 PM Proceed as described before; disconnect all hoses and pipes; then, bring them to a nearby hydraulic shop. Did this, and it's typically far less expensive than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). To begin, look up the part numbers on Google.

HOV Posted yesterday at 02:34 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:34 PM Then this is it. The local tractor and harvester shop can handle all that kind of stuff where we reside, which is in a rural region. The tractor place released the back wheel bearing of an ancient W123 estate in seconds, but our local garage took forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
