Car is an 02 Anniversary GTP 189000 KMS.
the return line (not under pressure) wore out and blew off dumping my fluid on the highway... luckily no one was behind me. drove back home after work (25kms round trip) and parked it in the garage.
Hose clamped the blown off hose and tested it. seemed to do the trick and since it wasnt the pressurized line i figured it would do.
Well were 5 days after that and the steering isnt fixed. Its intermittant at best. comes on and works, then goes away for 10 minutes. The pump is also whining pretty badly. I put a screwdriver up to it and listened while running and its definitely the pump.
Did I burn it out? I'm replacing it this weekend anyways to see if that solves the problem.
What power steering fluid is recommended with theses cars? I'm on GTP 4 right now and I've never picked up a specific type and stuck with it. What has given you guys the best performance?
Should I do all the hose while im down there? If this one broke and I have it temporarily fixed.. how long until the other hoses blow off too?
I tried searching and came up with some information but nothing that answered all my questions.
Thanks guys,
Derek
