Questions about Hydraulic Pump

[Ryan Gemmill]

Justin...

BTDT with my 200. Those plugs have beneath them an o-ring. What's called a
re-seal kit is available from Blau (www.audiquattroparts.com) or from Rod at
The Parts Connection (www.thepartsconnection.com) for a decent price (I
don't remember the number but it was fairly cheap). The plugs are removable,
but they are very tight. In the end I had my mechanic re-seal all the plugs
so it wouldn't happen agian. I forget which tools he used to unscrew the
plugs but it worked. I believe there's a better description of the tool in
the archives somewhere; if I can find it on my computer I'll forward it to
you.

Good luck...

Subject: Questions about Hydraulic Pump


Hi All,

I have chased down a leak that is draining my Pentosin at the rate of about
1
liter per 10 miles.  It is on the Hydraulic pump itself right below the
hydraulic hose that runs to the bomb.  The leak is coming from a round plug
with a large cross in the middle (like a super jumbo phillips head only
flat).  Is it actually a plug of some kind?  Is it possible to screw it down
tighter, and if so where might I find a tool that would fit such a funny
looking head?
Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin Bowers
