There is a very easy fix for this. You can buy an inline filter that you just cut the hose and put in that stops aeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you went to you're local autobarn they would either have something or be able to point you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might be putting one of these on the ZF as well (good reviews online). Ryco has something similar for power steering only, apparently they are standard on BA V8? Still have to confirm what they are actually for from Ryco - https://www.autobarn.com.au/ryco-power-steering-filter-sp91604-z504 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it will, but there's not a lot of info out there.I changed my leaking high pressure line a couple of years back (with a cheapie at short notice) and it has started to weep again. That has coincided with power steering groan returning, so I'm suspicious it is sucking air in through the leak. Have you checked yours over for any leaks?I've purchased the hose that Ultimate Power Steering do - has a different fitting to the factory one so that you can swap out the o-ring in future without replacing the whole hose.That Autobahn page is funny - title says power steering filter, description says oil filter and photo says fuel filter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
