replacing my grill today and having a look around as I needed to make sure my intercooler sensor was going to be easy to get out, and I happened to notice this pipe that looks a bit dodgy

I am getting a shark remap in the next few weeks so will be getting all these N249, 112's, SAI and Second lamba mapped out,

but not sure if this pipe is anything to do with the above or should I get it investigated..

the rusty power steering one ?

They all go like that but aslong as its not leaking its fine

Its your powersteering pipe :-)

Please if doing all the deletes get a smoke test done to make sure no leaks before map ;-)

ahh theres a little oil around it, but nothing actually bad enough its left anything under the car, so hopefully it will be alright

Will try and find out if anywhere local does it, is it a job normal garages do ? or would I be looking for a specialist,

seems thats the one, it was more the black rubber bit on it that looks like its pulled away,

You can do it yourself if you got a couple of spanners very easy job

I might have a spare none rusted one will have a look Tomoz if you want it buddy

cheers mate, let me know,

What about the smoke test, Would I be best just ringing local garages or should I be looking for a specialist, living in the middle of nowhere has its disadvantages

Where abouts are you ??

If you come to me for a shark map I can do it for you ;-)

Will check for pipe Tomoz

I'm in Co Durham, I had already checked for local Shark mappers, and there wasnt any close, So I purchased a STS box to do it at home, wasn't my 1st choice, but after reading reviews Shark was my 1st choice of map so had to go for the next best option...

Okay miles away lol if you feel like a weekend away I can put you up ;-)

Come see Windsor or Lego land lol

haha my kids would kill me if I went there without them...

thx for the offer though,

I will ring a few garages tomorrow, and its in for MOT on Thursday so I will ask them aswell when im there..

what sort of price does a smoke test cost, (just so I dont get ripped off)

About £50 is the norm

not too bad then, providing it doesn't find anything that needs replacing..

Watch out for that high pressure PAS pipe bursting! Mine did: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/192247-burst-power-steering-hose-aaargg/page__hl__+power%20+steering%20+burst#entry2299352

The pipe is about £140, so not a cheap fix unfortunately. All the part numbers and details are in the link above.

I'd carry a couple of bottles of PAS fluid in the car just in case it does let go.

Good luck with it and enjoy the Shark map!

Thanks. Is there anyway I can make sure it doesbt burst. Can do without spending 140 at the moment

not really, if it goes it goes, maybe keep off hard lock for extended periods. Let me know if clive doesnt find the pipe, as i have one too

Yes deffo have one just gotta go garage and dig out

:-)

well Good news and bad news today... Passed my MOT with flying colours, not even an advisory

so thought I would go and treat the car to a smoke test, (after finally finding a garage that does them)

I have a leak on the pipe that goes upto the crankcase breather hose.. I think I damaged it myself to be honest when I was changing the crankcase breather hose..

it looks like its only the top part of the pipe that's damaged, could I get some silicone of the right size and just put that over the top of the pipe and then back into the crankcase breather, or would I have to replace the whole pipe ?
