[s-cars] High pressure hydraulic line

[Igor Kessel]

Folks,
the High pressure hydraulic line 4A0-612-065 from the P/S pump to the 
bomb is weeping. Also, the light stays on for a long time after the 
startup,  and the sys looses pressure rather quickly after I turn the 
ignition off. The bomb is good (~35 pumps).

Here's what I found in the archives:

The
service foreman ultimately performed some tweak on my system such that the
light extinguishes immediately. He stated he removed some restrictor in the
hydraulic system. Supposedly there is a restrictor orifice that is used to
reduce the pulsing in the system. Again I cannot separate fact from fiction.
Alll I know now is that the light does extinguish immediately upon engine
start.

So, what's the consensus: to rebuild it at a local hydraulic shop? Or to 
open it up, remove the restrictor and reseal with the new Viton O-rings? 
Or to bite the bullet and buy a new hose from the dealer for ca. $280?
