Good video in process of doing exactly the same thing waiting for the pipe to turn up and get my van up and running again

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Glad to hear my video is helping you fix your van buddy.

Pair of Renault Trafic Power Steering Rack Transfer Pipes (2001-2014) £32 delivered. Power Steering Store. Great video, same problem.

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Great price buddy. Well done🙌

[@lavender_castle1410]

Help, a lot of work! Good instruction, thanks. I will start with this tomorrow on my 2.5l Nissan Primastar.... 🙄

[@TheKeenMechanic]

@@lavender_castle1410 Best of luck buddy

[@pracowniastolarskatestudo9098]

thx for this video. I use it to change my power stering pump as step by step instruction. I soak the rusty nut conection with wd40 for whole week and it uscrewed. Keep on the good work👍

[@TheKeenMechanic]

You are welcome. Plenty more trafic/vivaro content in the pipeline. I am currently removing the engine and gearbox for an overhaul🤝🏻

[@briangalbraith4565]

Great video very detailed. What was a reasonably straightforward job turned into a headache. The easy ones never turn out to be easy!!!

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Exactly. Thanks for watching and for the nice comment

[@dannybartlett4225]

I watched you other video about inner track rod ends as Mot said they needed doing cut the boot off and had steering fluid in there iv already rebuilt the engine after timeing belt snapped so head off new seals new valves after that the turbo went so replaced that but no matter what i do i just can't seem to get on top of the problems new brakes disks and pads now a leak in the steering rack but on a good note when i checked the rack its still tight and the res was still full to the mark so its not a real bad leak. Also when driving and letting off the accelerator im getting a fluttering noise i did think maybe a hose leak will get the lower engine mount changed and while there let her run and look for a leak its just headache after headache. Im lucky i enjoy getting my hands dirty but starting to think its time to call it a day lol

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Hi I totally understand you as I have done a lot of work on my van too and there is always something new that breaks. These vans are poorly built and will never be as good as VW, mercedes etc. They are cheap and that is the only reason people buy them. 🤑

[@christiankarlsson5973]

great video, i changed the same hose yesterday, but i was wondering which of all the hoses you put in the drink bottle when you change the oil in the system? :)

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Hi, connect the low pressure rubber hose that returns oil to your "drink" bottle. Basically you want to flush it out of the system and not into the drink bottle

[@frostcontrolhayder3463]

For the pipe you can use cupper pipe which is use for air-conditioning, its very easy to bend and can withstand up to 600psi.

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Thanks, good when people share this information as only an airconditioning engineer would know this.

[@jezzfalconer303]

Hi can you tell me how you can get to the 6mm Allen key bolt. I can see it through the chassis but the anti roll bar blocks me getting my hand up there. There is a plate underneath but the anti roll bar is bolted to this. All other bolts out. Any clues or help.would be much appreciated. Have read other comments but did the other people have any luck?

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Hi I used different extensions and flexible joints to get to it with a small 1/4" ratchet. Hope it works out for you. If you can't access due to not having the necessary tools try to gain access by removing other parts that are in the way

[@abrahim2644]

Hey man how did you get access to high pressure allan bolt i just cant even fit a ratchet or a 1/4 ratchet im working with the van jacked up i dont want to take the subframe off

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Hi No need to take the subframe off, I managed to do it with a small 1/4" ratchet and a hex socket. You may need some swivel extensions. Best of luck

[@abrahim2644]

[@lukefoxall3244]

Hi mate I've had a leak on the hose and after watching your video I'm currently in the process of doing it, all bolts have been removed apart from the Allen key bolt to the rack I can't get to it at all did you remove the metal base plate underneath the van for better access ?

[@lukefoxall3244]

Should also add it's only on axle stands I don't have a ramp doing it on my drive 😂

[@TheKeenMechanic]

On mine I didn't have to remove metal base so I take it someone before me had already removed it. Mine is a 2006, not sure if the newer ones have additional covers. Awkward job but if you can lift the van it is not too bad. Best of luck🔧🔩

[@TheKeenMechanic]

@@lukefoxall3244 That will be tough especially at this time of the year🥺

[@lukefoxall3244]

@@TheKeenMechanic trust me it's hard 😂 but I'm so close mines an 05 plate so the same I'm trying to get my hands through the wheel arch but it's so tight I'll take the plate off tomorrow now though thanks for replying really appreciate it and thanks for making these videos !!! Saved me a fortune

@@lukefoxall3244 No worries. Glad you like the content. More to come😉

[@duanesutch6565]

Looks like a real pain! My hp pipe is split, is it worth trying to fit a compression joint! Thank you. Duane.

[@TheKeenMechanic]

You can try but I decided to pay the big money and go with the original hp pipe. Nasty job even though I have a mid rise lift🤝

[@adamkenton6671]

I got a power steering hose for my 2005 Renault traffic van 1.9dci for £131 from autovaux in dewsbury by Leeds

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Thanks buddy. Will make a note of this as the dealer is a total rip off. Cheers for sharing

[@raatguzari5207]

A blow torch on the 17m bolt would’ve loosen it. A few wiggle left a right would make it free. Done dozen of these and not had problems. How on earth did u applied soo much pressure when u clearly can see the pipe is rusted itself. One way another it’s going to break.

[@TheKeenMechanic]

@@raatguzari5207 It doesn't show properly on the video but someone had tried to removed it before and bent it. It was so corroded it snapped like a breadstick. I have been working on rusty buckets for the past 20 years and restored several cars so I know my way around stuff like that but this one was not salvageable. Thanks for your message anyway

[@alanphillips8720]

Try pirtek they're good for repairing high pressure pipes,

Thanks Alan, much appreciated.🤝

Great video too. 👍

@@alanphillips8720Thank you, I have loads more content to come on both front and rear axle.

[@alanphillips8720]

I've heard a 10mm compression coupler can be used, if pipe breaks, useful information, available at any good hardware store, 👍

@@alanphillips8720 Very good to know this. I have never heard of compression coupler before. Thanks for the info🤝

Is it for the fluid brake you use? Can't you write in full

Hi. Sorry I dont understand the question?

@@TheKeenMechanic is the brake oil or?

@@sonasson5578 If you are asking about what oil I use in the power steering system it is ch11s pentosin by Febi bilstein and is for power steering systems

What’s the part number for the pipe please

Sorry, I don't remember it. You will have to ring the dealer. Hope you get sorted

[@Fydron]

I was going to do this but i think i am going to just scrap my primastar as i would to but so much time and money to it. I hate how every car nowadays is made as a FU to mechanic.

[@TheKeenMechanic]

@@Fydron Not easy and cheap to keep cars pn the road nowadays. That's why I do it all myself and save money on labour.

[@Fydron]

@@TheKeenMechanic I wish someone along the line would had made a flip fiberglass front on these cars to simplify how you repair and maintain this because all this thing does when you have to pull apart half the front end is people will never maintain anything which ends cars having multiple issues sooner or later.

[@TheKeenMechanic]

@@Fydron there is not much access to work on them for sure. Every time you have to do some major work you have to take the front apart

[@markroberts8034]

Been there done that, not impressed by the design and routing of p/steering hose. Bitch to replace.

[@TheKeenMechanic]

Totally agree
