hi guys,
well, its been a while since i asked a question regarding a renault!
ok so, im helping my mum's friend's husbandconfused with his new car, its an S reg 1.4 clio.
i thought to begin with it had a major oil leak from the gearbox, finally got the chance to give it a clean today as the bottom of the box/engine was absolutely soaking with oil! and i spotted its actually power steering fluid and the resevoir is empty. so on closer inspection i cant see an exact location but i did see it drip from the sensor on the metal pipe. ive chased the metal pipe and it changes into a flexi rubber pipe but it goes all the way to the rack as one piece? i imagine this is whats called the high pressure pipe or something?
anyone know where can i source the pipe and or sensor if neccessary? im not really sure i want this job but i said to him i probably wouldnt know which bit is leaking until i start to strip it down as room is tight and i cant see very well.
the speedo doesnt work too but from what ive read on here about them since i joined it looks like its just the sensor, which is a cheapish fix at £26 genuine renault (from fleabay)
thanks in advance guys,
stef
