Auto 7 831-0038 Power Steering Pressure Hose For Select KIA Vehicles Review

I noticed a pool of substance under my car, first thought it was oil, and it looked to be dripping from my V6, 2003 Kia Optima's oil pan. popping the hood, I could see a couple areas where the TOP of the engine was wet (by the drive belt) and traced the source to the power steering pressure hose. I also noticed my power steering fluid level wasn't keeping.

The following operation summery is just a checklist; if you do not have automotive repair experience, have someone qualified do the repair for you!

It was easy to change, but you should need 2 people and a couple box end wrenches (open-ended wrenches). The 2003 V6 Kia Optima should be up on jack-stands, There is a bolt holding the pipe in the middle to a bracket next to the firewall. Remove the fancy plastic top shield off the engine and Unbolt one end of the pipe from the top of the engine (25mm or 27mm, I can't remember) You will notice the whole pipe will want to turn, don't let it turn and hit the timing belt, place a block of wood between the pipe and the car body, it should then be easy to loosen.

The battery and air filter assembly will have to be removed to access the rack bolt on the driver's side, by the firewall (bottom is the High Pressure - 17mm I think?). There is a gray plastic sensor that will have to be unplugged (by the exhaust, under the engine, accessed from under the car - pull the M looking pin off and it unplugs easy), you will also have to temporarily unhook the low pressure hose (top 17mm bolt) so you can untangle the pipes. The old hose will have to be lead out the driver side (this is where you need 2 people to guide it).

Guide the new pipe in the same way (fat end, through driver-side of engine up to top) make sure the rubber grommet is in its harness (back bottom of firewall area) and the pipe is sitting correctly. Bolt the middle of the pipe back to the holster (by the firewall) check that both ends can reach their destinations and the pipe is guided correctly. Wet the 17mm end bolt threads with fresh steering fluid and bolt (both high and low) back into the rack, Then wet the larger bolt and washer with steering fluid and fasten it the engine. Everything should be able to be done without separating the halves of the pipes or cutting anything. Don't get frustrated with this operation, frustration will only cause you to break something.

Fill the reservoir to the recommended level and recap it. With the car still in the air, work the air out of the system by turning the steering (with the engine off obviously) all the way back and forth about a good 10 times, the reservoir should lower, fill it back to full line and continue. Keep this up until the reservoir no longer needs filling

Under the engine, plug back in the sensor and the M shaped pin that held it in place. Reassemble your air filter assembly and put battery back in place (I took this time to clean my battery terminals). make sure your battery connections are tight.

Start up your car, examine for any leakage, take it for a spin! - I still had some fluid that dripped on the chassis dripping from the car. This may happen until it burns off the engine since it doesn't evaporate. Just watch your fluid levels!

Forget the Haynes manual on this car, it is useless .
