Hi peeps,
I bought my second accord last week , its a 2006 2.2 cdti Ex Saloon and its a lovely example. I checked the PSF this morning and it was well below the low level. Inspected further and its developed a leak from the high pressure power steering hose a few inches above where is connects to the power steering rack (it had some extra insulation around it). The level was fine when i bought the car, i drove 230 miles back to Lancashire and even checked all fluids the next day when cold and all seemed fine.
Anyways the hose needs replacing as with it being high pressure a fix job may be risky (correct me if i'm wrong). Honda want well over £300 for a genuine one and there's a number of others available on fleabay but unsure on the quality as they are going for between £35- £70.
Has anyone got any suggestions on where to source a quality replacement hose without it costing a stupid amount?
Luckily I had ordered all my service parts (genuine filters of course) + 3 litres of PSF a couple days before to flush the system so i can use this to top it up in the mean time.
Thanks
