no

your high pressure line cracked by the pump per chance?? £175 for a new one

 

[matt200]

the crack is at the front of the engine, The crack is in the metal part under neath the air box. Is there any where i can get this part cheaper?! seems very over priced for a pipe.

 

[Fred@BTM]

is it the high pressure one or the low pressure?

 

[matt200]

how would i find out?

 

[Fred@BTM]

one goes over the top of the box to the res, the other goes round the box to the rack

 

[matt200]

yeah its at the bottom, right at the front of the car, its not near the res, so i would hazard a guess its the high pressure one to the rack?....

 

[Fred@BTM]

ah the old rusted through/broken bracket problem, yup i'm afraid that the high pressure pipe, £175 for a new un

im not actually joking when i say, i saw the car, looked round for 40mins, drove it - all fine, so i bought it. Drove down the m1 home and turned full lock into a junction in leamington spa and the steering went heavy and lost power. Had to buy 2 bottles of fluid to get home. And now i have the pleasure of having a £175 bill for this pipe. IS it an easy job to do? or do i have to take it to my local for even more of an bottom raping on my wallet?

 

[Fred@BTM]

t**t to fit, i'm only down the road though

 

[matt200]

how much would u charge me for parts and labour~?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'll have a check on the part price fella, knowing renault its gone up (or on the incredibly rare occasion gone down)

8200220384 is this the right part number?
