Power steering hoses route

[sapper]

I’ll try again as my last post has mysteriously disappeared.
Could someone post a picture of the route taken for power steering pipes from steering rack to reservoir please. Please be quick it’ must be bad image to have a post without a reply

I am not a lot of help I'm afraid - as you know I have a turbo installation, and cannot see anything beyond the U-bend on the passenger side.

The first bit is however easy - from the reservoir it goes under the two vacuum pipes and then heads off across the front of the engine, just under my coil packs, and to the U-bend gubbins on the passenger side of the block. I cannot see more than that - if you think I should be able to, then I will try again, with a torch this time

Did what I could!
Hope you can make some sense of them.
Pretty difficult to photograph. Apart from these they disappear into a bit of a black hole where they don't appear to be visible (from the top at least).

Photos will be difficult.
Starting at the res. both hoses go forward alongside the plenum. One goes down the side of the timing cover near the oil pressure switch, then out under the chassis top rail, forwards and under the coilover top mount, back under the top rail and onto the rack.

The other hose crosses the engine in front of the heads, behind the dizzy, then down to the 'U' bend before joining the pump.

The last hose leaves the pump and again loops around the chassis top rail before dropping down and running along the rack to its fitting.

At the end of the day it just needs to be neat and tidy and secured where possible.

Thanks Gents. All make sense now.
I was going in the wrong direction from the rack and the turn on the hose was too tight.
Oddly my original post dissapeared

Glad you're sorted.
Yes, your thread disappeared when I tried to upload the photos yesterday. I needed to delete one and when I did that, the whole topic went!
I've told them on 'website feedback', so maybe they'll let us know why that happened.

Cheers Alexander, hope it’s still here at the weekend
