    Power steering pump to steering box hose.

    Has anyone had this part rubber/part steel tube hose made up or repaired? I can't see why the old steel section cannot be reused. It is presently crimped onto the steel but another type of fitting may be available I was thinking.

    The old P/N was ANR3131 but it appears (???) as though it may have superseded to to QEP105410.

    Just doing some work & noticed the rubber section has some small exterior cracks & feels very hard.

    How reinforced is it internally? Metal tag on it gives the date of 19/1/94

    It's the high pressure hose // reinforced hose .... You can use the bits to make a new one .. find new clamp fitting's ... buy new hose // weld parts together

    but ....

    I would just buy a new one

    Enzed, The Hose Doctor, someone like that will be able to manufacture one for you. Remove hose from vehicle & hand to one of these guys & all should be good.
    Cheers.

    Thanks.

    I spoke to the EnZed bloke & in his opinion if it's not leaking it may well last for a few more years yet. It has excellent internal reinforcing he claimed.

    If it leaks that's a different matter. Try not to disturb it, he said.

    A new reworked hose using my bits is $120 & if it packs up & I need to call them out after hours using their 24 hour emergency service for an onsite repair, it'd be another $150 regardless of whether it's the weekend or not.

    That includes removing, repairing, replacing & topping up the oil.

    Problem also is, we only have the one vehicle on the road & they are miles from here down at Wingfield. Remove the hose & I'm buggered.


    Being a Bank CEO, I can easily afford the callout out of my Performance Bonus.

    ANR3131 supercedes to QEP105760.
    QEP105410 doesn't exist according to my info.

    QEP105760 should only cost you around $125 at dealer full retail rates.
    Probably even cheaper from a non-dealer source.

    That'd be the same Enzed company that "fixed" the high pressure diesel pipes on HMAS Westralia (sp) that caused an engine fire and killed a couple of the poor sods.

    If it ain't broke don't fix it is my 2c worth. It's not my standard response and I am quite diligent in servicing my diesel D1 regularly but with something like that I'd leave it well alone. If you are that worried buy a spare hose and keep it just in case, bit expensive though.

    Good luck with it.


    Regards

    If you do replace the hose, look where the metal part of the hose clamps to the crossmember. Those metal clamps can eventually wear through the metal pipe. I would suggest putting some thin rubber between the clamp and the hose.
