#1 Power Steering

Does anyone have or can point me in the direction of photos showing the routing of the HP and LP pipes between the PS pump and the rack? RHD car.

Is it just me that only takes pics. that are never needed while not snapping what becomes essential?

I am sure someone will have some good images but here are a couple I have come across in the past. Beware the misleading reflections on the glossy black upright.

If you're allowed to improve it, I did it like this:

Even better if I'd had a RHD pinion, all the pipes could then all be above (the pinion). Uses the std LHD hoses.

Hi Pete,
do these pics help you?
I took them in '17 during the dismantling process..
Or maybe you've solved the problem now..
I've just seen your post..
My S3 is manual, RHD.
