Power steering pipes. V50 D3 where to source
So ever since the I have had the car, (2011 V50 D3 )It has used some power steering (CHF) fluid, not often but some, I kind of knew it was a leaky pipe but hadnt delved into it, so last week when doing the oil service and timing belt i had a wee clean up round the pipes, clearly fluid on them but no obv leak (i didnt have car running and turning steering right enough)
I obv dislodged something as after car parked on drive a few days, a decent spot on mono block, anyhow got a chance to drive car onto the wee ramps and dropped under tray, it appears the leak is on the green coated pipe. around where it comes from below radion to under engine, and the two pipe are clipped together, there is some corrosion on the green coated pipe (coating had come away at suspected area) which may be hight pressure side (looking at the fittings on a petrol set on ebay - can anyone confirm) looking online i cant see anywhere stocking parts and struggling to find a part number. I think looking at the price of a petrol on skandix website it may be in the region of 180E Anyone know if its a Volvo only part or can somewhere like Pirtek make one up. or can anyone assist with part number. driving next Weekend for Holidays so kinda want to get it sorted now i know its an issue. May head to a local garage in the morning see what they say but wondering if may just be quicker booking it at Volvo. Thoughts anyone |

My local garage fabricated replacement pipes on our V50. The S40 I replaced the puppies with Volvo ones so they should be available as a spare part.

Just noticed you're in West Lothian! The garage that fabricated new pipes was Car Craft Scotland, Broxburn.

Cheers for the info Iain, going up to a local garage and will see what they say, wil bear the broxburn garage in mind but got the 2year old in tow today so will be easier just heading to garage in walking distance so i can get the wee one home in buggy.

Wee update, got it on a ramp this morning and its leaking on the return low pressure line so not horrendous, going to get onto volvo for new lines as HP side is corroded too but not leaking at the moment
edit: getting pipes in the morning £127+ VAT from volvo Last edited by Bigchewie; Jun 21st, 2018 at 13:32. Reason: update |
