Power steering running pressure - Kwik - 18-10-2012
Does anyone know what is the operating pressure for power steering system?
When changed my engine i changed to a non-aircon setup and power steering pump is down the bottom now so need some pipe to join pump with reservoir. size is 5/8ths.
Water hose was used but it's been sweating for better way of putting it and causing random power steering issues
Or thinking about it if i got fuel / oil hose would that be fine? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271028508104?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
lol answered my own question found this mocal hose http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOCAL-100R6-10-5-8-16MM-ID-OIL-COOLER-REMOTE-OIL-FILTER-OIL-HOSE-PIPE-MLR-NO-/150920546724?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item232390c9a4

Couple of hundred psi, but it can peak in the thousands if you hit a kerb or pothole at speed...

RE: Power steering running pressure - Kwik - 20-10-2012
Thank you Ripp i thought as much but wanted a second opinion. Also i been meaning to pm you lol
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOCAL-100R6-10...232390c9a4 CJ that should do the trick waiting for mine to turn up can let you know if it does or not?
RE: Power steering running pressure - Kwik - 22-10-2012
just changed pipe over to the ebay one i got. at idle was alot better and no random issues. can reply on weekend to let you know if this one is fine give it a few days and all that
RE: Power steering running pressure - Kwik - 24-10-2012
that pipe i got is adequate for the high pressure side too according to what i've read. I've got it on the low pressure side so it's overkill lol

RE: Power steering running pressure - Kwik - 24-10-2012
306 power steering is perfect not too light when driving but enough so parking doesn't drain. drive a rover and compare the power steering you'll get what i mean.
why would you want yours off?
RE: Power steering running pressure - Rippthrough - 25-10-2012
Because it's better without it.
RE: Power steering running pressure - Kwik - 25-10-2012
I guess for some it will be swings and roundabouts and all that
RE: Power steering running pressure - Rippthrough - 26-10-2012
More steering feedback and less slack in the steering before anything happens, what's not to like?

Daily driving the car with no PAS, thats whats not to like....some people do have more than just handling on there mind lol...
RE: Power steering running pressure - Kwik - 26-10-2012
that's why i said swings and roundabouts. as a daily driver power steering is a must but for a track day weapon it makes sense to not have it there so you can feel all

Meh, bunch 'o fairies.
RE: Power steering running pressure - darrenjlobb - 27-10-2012
Meh we arnt a bunch of fairies, tbh I have no interest in much other than having fun, but genuinly find it annoying not having the PAS, just makes car a better car imo....Steerings pretty sharp in these with decent suspention / smaller steering wheel anyways ....
RE: Power steering running pressure - Rippthrough - 27-10-2012
There's still a dead spot though.
RE: Power steering running pressure - Pugmarshall - 28-10-2012
PAS on these sucks testicals IMO
RE: Power steering running pressure - Kwik - 28-10-2012
yea ripp there is a deadspot but most PAS systems have one just on the 306 it's not as pronounced IMO.
And Pugmarshall swings and roundabouts lol for me a daily driver has to have PAS, electric windows, central locking and heaters and a bit of fun when needed but for some people they want different
