This damn power steering high preasure hose seems to wear out a lot i hear. its 150$'s and i need to just fix it till the part comes in!

1) can it be fixed for now with clamps!? 1 clamp didnt work. i tried to fit it over the end of the hose, and still drips!!! i need to fix this thing b/c i use the car to commute to work. im goign to try another clamp 2morrow morning.

does anyone have one laying around!? =)
thanks!

by the way, its a 1998 A4 1.8 T.. which the ... T i gotta work on. i dont feel any turbo.. maybe in 1st lol.. but all Manual cars in first feel like that.. much here there also if anyone has input.

 

So you do know where its leaking from then? I have an 01 and the seal busted on my powersteering rack + pinion and powersteering fluid flooded out onto my wheel I hear that has been a issue for B5's. But if you know where the leak is just get a clamp from autozone or something.

Do you for sure know where the leak is, that is my question.

 

im 100% sure. when i have my gf turn the wheel, it squirts out from 1 specific spot. if i put 1 clamp it doesnt come out as much. but since its preasure, and its a very very oily type fluid.. it comes out through just the smallest thing .

 

Is the leak happen in one of the wheels?

 

not sure i understand, one of the wheels?
