Re: Power Steering Issue

Ok I did the following:

1. Changed the two High pressure hose O-rings
Result - No change

2. Changed the Resevoir O-ring Again
Result - No change

3. Changed the Resevoir and O-ring, flushed the system replaced all fluid
Result - No more foaming over and Steering working but not at idle

4. Changed the high pressure line switch (not sure what it is called)
Result - Works perfect

I guess somehow I had multiple problems. It looks like the long low part of the resevoir is where the pump draws fluid from (like a straw in liquid). The resevoir must have had some junk in it or a hairline crack in the tube inside the resevoir which allowed it to draw in air making o-ring change have no effect.

What a pain, glad that is over with...

On a good note the 5 speed swap, engine rebuild, ECU tune upgrade, Koni/GC swap, wheel bearings, brakes, basically rebuilt the car from the bottom up makes this thing one bad A%s machine. Never new an SVX could put such a smile on my face...

Thanks for your input!
