Need help asap! power steering pipe on clio 16v

[clio-16-valver]

Hi

Recently I got a new engine fitted to my car. In the process of the old engine coming out we split the power steering pipe on the rack. We replaced the bent pipe with a new pipe and then put the engine back in to find that the pipe leaked badly from the top of the union. We have cut the pipe and put a rubber hose on over the union which does hold the fluid in until you turn the steering wheel left! When you turn left the pipe expands like a big ballon and will pop if held on for to long.

Help needed asap plz cos I want my car back!

Thanks

Which pipe exactly?

The one that goes on the top of the steering rack (behind the downpipe) which later connects back onto the rack (about 8 inchs long) and is metal.

Doubt it,. they aren't designed to take those sorta pressures, clean it off and put some miliput or quicksteel around it as a temp fix

Well the kit i have only does pretty small pressures.......atleast when i remove my engine i'll remove the gear lingage in the right place :lol:

When you fit the new rack just drop the subframe down, and fit it with the subframe off the car
