I bought a 95 A6 last year. The high pressure hydraulic hose from engine to steering rack was leaking. So I replaced with an aftermarket hose and it also leaked. Call distributor and they sent out another new hose. 2 weeks later and it's leaking too.

Question: Could there be something in my hydraulic system that isn't regulating pressure correctly or have I bought some cheap OEM parts? Do these power steering systems have a pressure regulator?

Thanks,

Bump...

Anyone heard of either cheap OEM hoses or hydraulic system pressure regulation issues?
