Re: Power Steering Whine from New Hose
�
I had�new power steering lines installed about 6 years ago for my '90 MV.� I noticed that the new return line had a coupling about 2 feet from the end.� All this time I thought the Canadian manufacturer of this line was using up the end of a roll and had to add some more for a complete run.� Now it looks like that is a restrictor?? And not a hose coupling?� It never did make a noise after installation. Quiet. I've recommended Frank's hose kit to others.

Hi Mike.

When I did a conversion, I ran into the same thing as you. Apparently the VW=
hose has some kind of restrictor that helps to dampen things and reduces th=
e noise. After figuring that out, the shop cut the restrictor out of the old=
vw hose and put it in the new hose, which fixed the noisy power steering.

Hopefully its as simple as that!

Good luck!
