Review on Enhanced Performance Edelmann 92118 Power Steering Pressure Hose by Ivan Carson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Pump quick connect error. real pain! And again!

The first unit I received failed immediately after installation. The part of the "Quick Connect" that attaches to the pump is locked. However, after pressurizing and bleeding the power steering system, the quick release snap ring failed and leaked fluid everywhere. Numerous attempts have been made to re-plug the tube. However, all attempts were unsuccessful. Anyone who has changed this part on a Ford Expedition can tell you that it is a tedious job as you have to pull out the oil filter and remove the long push cable from a very difficult to access power cylinder. connection and the lower connection point of the pump. Usually work several hours. Then add a few more hours to the failure and now wait for the new part to replace the failed part. That's a little discouraging. UPDATE: Revain immediately responded with a replacement. EXCELLENT WORK! If it arrives today, I'll install it tomorrow and take a look. Further information follows! NEW UPDATE! Due to the bad weather I haven't been able to finish the project until today! Unfortunately, as soon as I opened the packaging, I realized that it was useless. Some dummies put a quick-release nut on the device and also put a bag with a usable quick-release nut in the parts bag. The problem is if I pulled on the one that came with the power steering cord it would destroy the integrity of the fitting. The SNAP ring would scratch the matching lining. Even if the second adjustment works, it is not known how long it will last.

Pros
  • 11mm captive o-ring x 16mm rotary o-ring with switch port
Cons
  • Almost never
