Shokan Power Steering Hose Update

[Schaible, David]

It's been a while since I messed with that setup but I recall the
acoustic filter from the oem being easily removed and used in a new
hose....i put in a shokan hose and had to remove it in a few months
because it was leaking, I don't often buy stuff from them unless you
just want a oem used part.  For that they are ok, (other than wanting
more for a used starter, 6 mo warranty, than I paid for a bosch rebuilt
w/ 2yr warranty).  Maybe you should just turn up the radio....unless
it's a bose w/o the recall work

Subject: Shokan Power Steering Hose Update

Let's get to the bottom of this!
 
I called again today to ask if Shokan's high pressure power steering
hose  
(443 498 892C) was made by the OE manufacturer of Audi's power steering
hoses.  
I was told that yes, all their parts are OE manufacturer.
 
I then posed the question, "Why, if this is the same part that is
available  
through the dealer (That's what OEM means, correct?), are you telling me
that  
buying my hose through the dealer will solve my problem?"
 
Again, I was told that the dealer hose will solve my problem.  I was
then 
given the choice to: buy a used hose from them, return the part for a
refund or 
buy a hose from the dealer.  I was also told that if this hose  makes
noise 
on my car, chances are an exchange hose from them will also make the
same 
noise.
 
I don't have a problem returning the hose for a refund.  What I do  have
a 
problem with is being told that the problem lies with my car, not their
hose.  
My old hose did not have a noise problem.  I didn't spend $136  for a
hose, 
plus many hours of my time to have the result be an unsatisfactory
repair.  
 
Now, in order to fix this, I need to do the job again, as well as spend

another $20 or $25 in Pentosin.
 
Apparently, I am not the only one with this problem?
 
Any thoughts as to what should be done?
