Hi there i have a 2007 Audi A4 B7 Avant 1.9tdi. The other day I started it and it was making a loud grinding noise. I soon discovered that there had been a large power steering leak. Because the car wasn't driven after the leak. I'm hoping the rack and pump and everything else in power steering system is okay. I discovered that the cause was that the hose leading from the power steering fluid reservoir to the pump has failed because it has three large cracks on it with fluid coming out. The problem is Audi don't make the part anymore I need , nor do third-party manufacturers. I have been struggling to find part number 8Eo 422 887 L, even from scrap yards.. Im wondering if anyone has a solution for me ? is there anyway my pipe could be repaired or is a used one the only option ? Many Thanks Hugh Keenan

Hello Hugh,

If you do a forum search for ‘Hose’ or ‘Power Steering Hose’, you should come up with a number of suggestions ranging from EBay, car breaker link sites through to commercial vehicle hydraulic specialists. 
Please let us know how you get on.

Regards,

Gareth. 

To add to Magnet's suggestions, if you scroll to the bottom each page there is an advertisement for a custom hose company.

This any good?
