Michael9 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 A mate needs the power steering pipes for his mk2 focus 1.6 petrol and asked me to find them.. Why are the ones for his 70+ (the bay of evil) yet ones for the 1.6 diesel are only 30odd, i know they're obviously different but in what way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The 1.6TDCi uses electro-hydraulic system. I'm pretty sure the 1.6 petrol uses a conventional mechanical hydraulic system. Pipes got to different places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael9 Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 I thought conventional would be cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 You thought wrong then... Also, if you're fitting them, you need a new nut for the new pipes on the old style system...this nut must be fitted to the PAS pump and then the pipe pushed into that, it doesn't work if you try fitting the nut onto the pipe first.

Michael9 Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 I know how they're fitted I just didn't know why they're more than double....I'll pass it on and he can decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
