Fixing Blown Power Steering MK6 - MK7 Ford Transit 

Glad you got something out of the video and it had the information you needed :)

Thanks so much and glad it was helpful. Fingers crossed the job went smoothly and easily for you. Can be a bit fiddly but way cheaper then a new pipe.

Glad you found it so helpful :)

Hi Ron Diggz, Sounds like a shredded belt but you'll know more once you get the bonnet open. They run a multi ribbed drive belt. I normally run a 7PK2875 Multi Ribbed Drive Belt on our VH transit 2.4L Diesel with A/C. If you don't have A/C you'll need a different length belt. The belt shredding could have damaged other components so best to check everything thoroughly while changing the belt :)

@@handymandan8250 thank you mate, I took the grill off and yeah I don't think it had been changed, but will check everything. Appreciate it guys

The securing bolt has an external Teflon seal, but where the pipe passes through the bolt there is a snap ring and possibly an internal seal. You can get new bolts for around £10 sterling. Getting the old one off is the problem caused by the snap ring gripping the pipe. There is a RU-vid video showing how it can be done ….one slip and the cutting disc can cut the pipe. I found a pipe in a scrap yard and it did the job. I’ve just ordered a bolt and then I’ll try and replace it myself….I’ll use a disc to remove the threads and hand saw gently and file to cut down to the snap ring. Is it worth it ? Well Ford wanted to charge me £125 or £225 for a new pipe….I was in shock so I’ve forgotten which !!
