Just want to know where the most common places on an 92 r32 gts-t for a power stearing leak.

My power stearing pump makes a very metalic rubbing noise when she is low on fluid aswell.

And she goes through the power stearing fluid quite quick.

Most of your original power steering hoses will be perished and leaking to some extent by now. I found the first to go was the main line between the reservoir and the powersteering pump. Most of the high pressure side is in steel so isn't likely to just spring a leak.

where the hose attaches to the pump from the res there is two bolts and the hose attachment comes off. Use permatex ultra blue or something along the lines of and smear a thin layer around it then replace it.

Thats where mine was leaking from.

I think i have found the leak.

As you guys have said it looks like the pipe from under neith the resevior.

It's the 2 small pipes off the resivior i think.

Where the best place to get some new ones/

are the realy any differnt from just a normal rubber hose you buy from supercheap?

I grabbed the trans/powersteer hose from the local autostore, 1m cost about ~$10.

The powersteer pump big hose I grabbed from Pirtek. $9 the length cost me.

All up i'd say it cost ~$40-$50 in hose, hose clamps x 10 and 1ltr fluid.

Very happy its fixed. The last 2 weeks prior to fixing it I went through 1ltr. :S

No special method removing pipes etc. Just rip them off. If they don't come off grab a small set of grips and twist the hose, if that still fails just chop it off with a stanley knife.

The large reservoir to pwr steer pump hose is 19mm ID.

400mm max length needed, I cut mine down a little furthur so that it didn't rub on anything. Tight squeeze but worked out well.

    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
