No power steering

Postby Wesleymk8 » Mon Jan 01, 2018 10:08 pm

Well I started my van for the first time today in over ten days, was fine when I finished for Xmas. Anyway as soon as I started it there was a lot of screeching and the power steering was struggling. Popped the bonnet to see the pas bottle nearly empty. Checked underneath to see that one of the pipes is leaking badly, seems to be underneath one of the fixing clips that keeps the solid tube part of the pipes secure to the chassis. The van is out of warranty by 6 months now so will fix it myself. Can anyone recommend anywhere I can get a genuine new pipe from without having to go to my local dealer(they’re useless). I can’t seem to find any pas pipes for a 2014 model onwards. And also is anyone aware of an online parts diagram so I can get the correct part number? The van is a l2 h2 2014 125ps. cheers

I think the quickest and cheapest place would be eBay or the breakers yard for a replacement part.

Below are custom, they list the euro 6 model though.
You might need to contact Ford with your reg for parts number, steering hoses are quite expensive.
I'll bet that the mk7 fwd are the same but don't quote me.
Look on your pipes for a label or a stamp you might find the number then Google it etc.

If you have a local PIRTEK. Depot give them a call they will be able to make one.

Thanks everyone, managed to order one through my local dealer, tried 4 times to calm them and they eventually called me back. It was the reservoir to rack pipe. £48 and will be here by 9:00 in the morning. So didn’t end up that bad at all. It seems as if the black plastic clip that secured the two pipes to the chassis had worn through the pipe causing it to leak badly. Hopefully it’s not a common fault and it was a bit of dirt that had maybe got behind the clip wearing the pipe away.

Happened in my bosses mk7 rwd pin hole through the pipe where the black clamp holds it to the chassis.

It’s strange that one of the clips has rubber behind it , and the one which is hiding the hole in the pipe hasn’t! Makes me think that’s what causes the pinhole if say a bit of dirt gets behind.
