[V8] Power steering hoses

[Korn, Bob]

I've used the Mobil product for 3 years.  The only issue I have noticed
is its cold weather performance.   When the ambient temp is less than
35F or so, the steering is a little heavy for the first 30 or 45
seconds, I assume this is the time period for the fluid to circulate
through the system a few times to warm it up.

These folks rebuilt all my hydraulic hoses, reasonable prices, quick
turn around, added swivel connections making installation easy.

There are many Audifans participants using the Mobil product.  There
have
been no reports of problems from adding it to Pentosin that I can
remember.
 There are three parts to the high pressure hose shown in ETKA.  I've
only
replaced the high pressure hose in my 200q20v, so I have no direct
experience with a V8 high pressure line.  The flexible part shown in
ETKA
from the pump to a steel pipe is 441 498 892C.  The pipe itself is 441
422
897C.  The flexible hose at the rack end is 441 498 892B.  No idea of
pricing.
