INFORMATION





Whenever the power steering pressure line (2) is connected at the power
steering pump, it is possible to install the power steering pressure line under tension. Excess tension on the pressure line, combined with vibrations, could lead to a leak at the connection point (1). To eliminate the possibility of leaks from the power steering pressure line, it is imperative to follow the procedure listed in Repair Instruction RA 32 41 332 "Replacing pressure line for power steering (S85)". If necessary, the mounting flange (3) for the power steering line can be elongated with a round file to reduce tension during installation. However, if the flange is modified, then the corresponding bore must be treated with anti-corrosion paint.
