Hi all,

I've had a leak in my power steering for sometime. Finally got the part from ebay and took my car to the garage. The part i got was

I am aware that this is the new modified part that means the oil cooler can be removed. However when i took it the garage they said its the wrong part as its not like for like. I explained the part has been modified but thats all the information I have. Does anyone have any information on fitting this part?

    My mechanic told me it's a beehatch to fit. But the modified one should be correct.

    Is the leak deffo the pipe and not the reservoir?

    Depends if you have a suitable tool to get into a tiny space and cut a metal pipe, most won’t have anything suitable and you won’t do it by hand! I had a flexible dremel extension which was perfect, and you need to cut the bracket as well as the pipe.
