Hi all, is the common power steering hose leak on the low pressure return side?

This link describes a repair to a common problem on E36 BMWs that looks similar. - Click Here -

The idea would be to perform a repair on the car that did not involve dropping subframes.

Problem is a 'Dealer' won't do that kind of repair, they will only change out a hose to be covered by a Citroen Warranty for the part should things go wrong down the line so your going to have to do it yourself, or get a local garage to do it for you.

Unfortunately not. All I can find are the parts lists, there is nothing in the 'Repair Manual' sections that I can find on removing/replacing the hoses just how to check the pressures in the power steering system.

Everything I can find that is power steering related is here: - Click Here -
