Ant here (hunniepies dude).

 

As with quite a few Z's i've heard of recently, we seem to have a power steering/hi cas prob with our Z. We found out wot the prob is and got the part but now need some advice !!!

Does anyone know how i can change the main hose for the power steering without the engine coming out ??? Or if not where i could find a manual or advice on this !!!!

 

Thanks :cool:

Yes you can change pipe. Its a bit fiddly but not bad to do.

Call me an idiot, but how ???!!!!! :headvswal

You mean the pipe that goes from the pump to the rack ?

Thats the one !

Yeah you can do that.just undo both ends epty the fluid (no choice obviously) and pull and wiggle until its out. then push and wiggle roughting the correct way to replace the new one. Its a bit hard how to describe this job lol

hi hope you dont mind me asking , but what was your original prob ? was the stearing getting hard . mine is and i have changed everything including the pump without success . im now begining to wonder if it could be the pipes ? ta

hi vance check the resistance across the solenoid on the rack.its on the drivers side.i beleive if you connect it to a 9v battery it should buzz.the solenoid controls the speed sensitivity.
