Topped off power steering fluid and as the snow melted off the roads and no salt down took the M out for a "minor" run. Very slowly for 3 miles - nothing fell off or caught on fire so - hit er a bit and can spin the tires in 1st and 2nd anytime you want with the road a little damp so = certainly more power - seat of the pants - great - unfortunately will have to wait for any more running. We are getting 6 inches of snow tonight.
how do you like that part, much neater and no-longer need to worry about spills, then again it is such a low pressure circuit i dont think it will leak but in the interest of doing it properly ;-) hahahaha...... how did you find the install of it?? maybe you could outline the steps you did to swap these piece out for the other Vt owners, me and you are the only one with this part and mine was done by the shop so cant comment on the process..... I saw a CSL having some work done and spotted the longer hose and Guessed it would work, it turned out to so perfect for the job ESS should supply that hose imo!!
