Well yes it was, but it did include the disk/bung. Will probably be staying there as well.

Penrite PAS fluid for ACE. $30/L through a good mechanic.

Am going through heaps of it at the moment thanks to a leaking pipe.

Top tip.

On all but the very last of the 2004 D2a's they made the high pressure ACE hose a single pipe with very complicated bends. On the last few they made it two pipes (ie, instead of one long, two shorter that join). But when you order a replacement pipe you can only buy the 'short' pipe. So if you need to remove a one piece pipe, make sure you order both of the short pieces.

Hope that made sense.

ACE is awesome!

makes corners even more fun.

Hey
Be very careful as the pressures in the ace system are very high and a small leak can very easily become a major problem.
The main areas that leak on the ace system were the pipes that are positioned at and near the drivers side wheel arch and the pressure pump. The bleeding of the system can be tricky and sometimea will require to be connected to a diagnostic system.
As for the fluid they are deffenetly not the same as the power steering fluid section takes power steering fluid and the ace side tkes the factory ace fluid.
Hope this helps
