Porsche 944 Turbo power steering hose replacement

[van883]

Is there a step by step guide on how to do this? I had a leak on my 944 turbo near the reservoir and decided to trim back the hose near the jubilee clip, and then refit the hose, only to find that the rubber has rotted...so I need new hoses to and from the reservoir. Before I start taking too many things apart, what do I need to do to detach the far ends of the hoses somewhere deep at the front of the engine?

Any help is appreciated

thanks

The leak is very often the cooling coil under the wing. Most people use someone like Pirtek to remake the hoses. Removal is a simple unbolt job but you'll need new copper washers or re-anneal the old ones.

Mine is definitely leaking at the reservoir end and I need to replace the hoses-I presume I have to take under engine covers off to get to the end of the hoses?

Yes you do, a handful of 10mm headed bolts depending how many have sheared off, dropped out. The pipes are they are well threaded in.

What a nightmare! I took the reservoir off, disconnected the hose at both ends and found that the hose is bolted on to the front of the engine in 2 places in such a way that I can't unbolt the brackets from above or below..so after all my effort it is going off to a local specialist to fix.
