Hi All - I had my power steering checked - ( part of service ) I have been advised that it is sweating ?? and the downpipes are beginning to corrode. I have been advised - new pump / pipes ( 200 pounds plus ) with labour costs - an outlay of GBP 420. Any advice on this guys ?? a) What causes the sweating ? b) Has anyone refurbished the existing pump ? c) Can anything be done to stop the corrosion ? Thanks for your input Michael

Hi there, I see that Scorpio man has already answered you but even to replavce all the pipes should not be more that about £120 , plus of course labour but as he says we will have a look at the meeting.... Cheers Snoopy
