twijesiri Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 HI All, My Supra NA-TT is stuck out side my Dad's place at least 20 miles from me, as i need to replace the Power steering reservoir hose. The dumb thing is as i am back at home now I don't have the hose with me and I don’t know the size of it. Is there any one that does and if so knows where i could get one on a Sunday afternoon. cheers Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twijesiri Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 10mm (3/8") ID. Not sure you'll get anything today though. cheers , thats great... I was thinking about buying a length of silcone hose from halfords and cutting down to size. I know there is a big bend in the standard P/S hose. But i am hoping that if i use a silcone hose and bend that i should not get any kinks in the hose. sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twijesiri Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hi All, umm I had no luck finding the right size silicon to fit the P/S hose. So i thought i would just call Toyota and explain to the problem and get the part sorted. Ohh my god what a hassle, "sorry we don't have a record of you, your license plate, your car, what is a supra is it a corrola or chassis number and we cant order parts on costumer description as we might get the wrong thing. is there any one out there that has a part number for P/S hose pictured above ? Please this would really save me some time if i could order this today. thanks Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twijesiri Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Ok ... so i ordered the wrong part... what i need is the bit in red any ideas any one. please .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 In theory -6 braided hose will be fine...but -8 will be easier to fit. http://www.thinkauto.com can help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I don't think you can use standard silicone hose for PS, it has to be lined with polythemascksutbnkiodhjelite I'm in the same boat at the moment but my PS hoses are not standard as I have an aftermarket cooler. I found one place that does them in 9.5mm, but hopefully, with a bit of elbow grease, I'll be able to stretch them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Here. http://www.auto-performance.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=21_136&products_id=829 Free delivery too. And it's lined with flurohiperfrilkdiutlite for oil/fuel and power steering fluid EDIT, and it's in 10mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 It also says this in the "Extra Information" section at the bottom of the page (more than a little confusing.....) - - Unsuitable for: Oil - Fuel & Power steering fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 looking at the diagram the hose is part of 44402 cooler sub-assy power steering oil1 no1, it may not be a seperate part (in the land of toyota:() Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twijesiri Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi Guys, Thank you all this is all very helpful...

garethr Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 One thing.... are you sure that it's the hose? On my GS, the power steering cooler (just a piece of pipe, like the Supra cooler) was corroded near the end. I was able to cut the corroded bit off and re-attach the hose.

Its worth noting. that the hose length and the section that I removed from my car is 70cm, which means the link to the merlin website hoses will not be long enough.

They sell any length you want, but charge by the half metre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
