PAS pipe
Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2021 10:19 pm
My sons Brera 2.4 JTDM is leaking fluid from the high pressure power steering pipe.
The whole pipe is a long thing which goes round the houses from the pump, and ends up at the rack.
Costs £200 if its in stock, and is a PITA to fit, I understand.
The leak is up top near the pump, from a joint between a steel pipe, and a short flexi section.
Someone on line, (Alfaowner Forum ?) has fitted a 10mm copper pipe, with brass compression fittings to replace the same leaking section.
I thought of doing this, but then wondered if the fittings were adequate for the PAS pressure?
The alternative is to get a local hydraulics company to make a stronger repair section?
