Car (S3) has recently developed a power steering leak, typically it's the really expensive one that runs between the pump and rack and folds back on itself a few times, it's corroded through on the metal section.
Now I've read that this isn't uncommon and a few people have managed to repair this which I'd much rather do, my question is what's the easiest and most reliable way to do this? Can I just chop out the corroded metal section and replace with hydraulic hose, if so how do I connect the metal pipe to the hose? I assume simply matching the o/d of the pipe to the I/d of some hose and clamping up isn't going to be strong enough?
Thanks in advance.
