Re: Hyd Pump Rebuild tips

<< Maybe the washer is the cause.
 These crush washers are supposed to be used only once.  
 It's pretty common for at least one of them to leak when they are re-used.
 
 And since they are almost impossible to find except at the Audi dealer they
 are often re-used.
 They are not included in the seal kit.

I replaced the crush washer (and tightened it to about 30), thats when the 
metal tubing that runs from the pump split because of the pressure. I have a 
replacement hose, but I'm not sure what the problem might be, but I'll start 
at
	1) Replacing the split hose (from the pump to the "bomb" I think?)
	2) Re-sealing the hydraulic pump
	3) Dump in the Pentosin fluid, and check what goes wrong then (is the 
fluid synthetic or non, I wasn't clear about that)
When the pump leaks itself dry and has no fluid or pressure, that would 
trigger the BRAKE symbol on the little dash screen, right?

	Thanks alot,
