Replace your power steering fluid, reservoir, and supply lines. Parts Needed • Fluid Reservoir w/ Integral Filter: 32 41 1 097 164 • Fluid Supply Hose (reservoir to pump): 32 41 1 092 982 • Return Hose/Pipe (rack to reservoir): 32 41 1 093 137 Click here to read the entire tutorial |  |  | | |
ok thanks, where can i get it at, just like an auto zone or something | | | | |
yeah, any parts store like that, if you don't know what exactly to look for just say Dexcron III and they'll know what you're talking about (hopefully  ) | | | | |
Well I did this today minus the return line. I just changed out the reservoir and the line going to the pump. Let me tell you it was a pain the a**. The hose going to the pump was very hard to get off. I had to cut it in half. Then pull the rest of it off the pump. I had to pry with a screwdriver and more. Anyways I finally got it all off and changed everything out and then got it all connected and clamped down. Ran the car around and everything is working fine. No more leaking and my fluid level now stays up. Thanks for the write-up. | | | By vap3 on 04-11-2009, 03:27 AM |

I more wanted to replace the filter inside the reservoir and get fresh fluid in the system. The two other non-pressure hoses were cheap enough that I decided to go for it. As long as you're not having issues with it, you might as well skip it. | | | | |
Im planning on replacing these parts as I do have a small leak. I have a question if someone might be able to tell me.
Everytime I turn my wheel I get loud squeeling sounds from both turning left and right. When I give it light gas on the pedal, the sound goes away and I complete my turn.
Could this be the belt, bad pump, bad rack, or by replacing these parts will it stop squeeling?
I plan on starting with the small fixes and cross my fingers.
Thanks! | | | | |
My steering sometime sticks while turning either way, what problem is this and will this fix it? | | | | |
Has anyone found a good replacement for the return hose that only comes with the trombone? | | | | |
could you just replace the hoses without the metal cooling line? | | | | |
If anyone wants to know, I used a foot long 1/2"ID 250psi piece of hose to replace the return line from the trombone to the reservoir. It fit very snugly on both ends and seemed like a perfectly acceptable replacement. Also, make sure whatever hose you get is oil resistant. | | | | |
Hey guys ,

Thanks a lot | Yeah, DON'T use power steering fluid, use ATF(automatic transmission fluid). | | | | | M42 differences
To everyone with a M42 engine, the U-shaped hose Cirrus uses between the reservoir and the pump WILL NOT fit in your car. The line from the reservoir to the pump in your car looks like this, and also requires 2 sealing rings, bringing the total number needed to 4. In addition, you do not need the third worm clamp. Learn from my mistake! EDIT: The trombone piece listed in Cirrus' post is also specifically for the M44 engine. You'll find that the rubber hose connecting the metal trombone and the reservoir is about an inch and a half too short for the M42 engine. I had to ship the part back and get the correct one sent to me. | | Last edited by kavinsky; 08-15-2013 at 04:19 PM.. | | |
what is the reason to not use power steering fluid? and instead use ATF? | | | | |
