Power Steering

Postby eskimodoodle » Sat Jul 02, 2022 4:07 pm

Hi all ,

Power steering stopped working today on mk7 2.4 ford transit .
I checked fluid it was empty .. Fluid is leaking from driver side bottom of van .
Any ideas what may be leaking or what part I may need to replace ?


Thanks

From experience...

follow the high pressure steel pipe down into the wing, there it passes through a rubber support bolted to the wing, it'll have rusted through inside the rubber support. New pipe time.
