RE: coupe q hydaulic problem any BTDT?

["Curry, Rene" <Rene@SINECO.com>]

I have heard many different reasons for this situation to occur. In my
case replacing the complete hose assembly from the power steering pump
to the accumulator with a completely new assembly from the dealer cured
my problem.  This hose kit consisted of a new hose, internal restrictor
insert (don't have the book handy for it's technical name), and new
fittings.  What I believe was the real cure was both of the hose
fittings had fine filter screens integrated into them and they were
partially clogged.   It would also be a good time to clean the large
screen filter in the reservoir.  Keep in mind that my vehicle is an 84,
so I don't know if your year would also have these fine screen filters
in the two fittings.  Let us know what your final solution is.
