Title: Power Steering - Pump Sweating / Corrosion of Pipe
Post by MichaelRomulus on Apr 29^th, 2004, 6:19pm

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....
