Hi all, well after a month of glorious driving pleasure the PAS box is leaking again, the gory details...
The original started ****ing from the sector shaft bottom seal.
Replaced with a recon unit, this had unbalanced power assistance from left to right.
Replacement box has great feel but now started leaking from sector shaft again.
Its about one drip per day, drop arm is wet, i'm checking fluid every few days and it seems ok, not needed topping up yet.
So, does a dry box actually exist or am i looking at a third box in 8 weeks?
Im a bit ****ed off with this as the steering feels great now and i've done the job twice already this year
Looks like i'll be ringing supplier up i guess and begging for money back so i can order a new OEM unit, i cant be arsed with another recon risk, got holidays coming and we're touring cornwall.
