I have a 94 vw jetta turbo diesel,good car but sumetimes parts a a bit outragious.Monday I drove a mile to town and lost power steering,got back home to find a large puddle of fluid in the driveway and the suction hose dangling,missing a o ring.Phone vw dealer for a o ring,not avaliable,pump must be replaced at near $850 plus tax for the part.
the replacement pump has a retaining plate that keeps the hose secured in place.the original is pushed in relieing on the o ring to hold it all together.Long and short,a trip to napa and less than $20 for a o ring,degreaser& j. b weld and
I am back on the road.Get stubborn when the saythe $850 part is toast because the 15 cent part is not availiable.The jb does the job of the retaining plate in the updated design.
