Help please - boxster fire...

Gotcha, will do. Thank goodness it's not a threaded fitting in there, would be hard to get a spanner in there!

The other end, do I fit a wrench on both sides of the join or do i use vise grips on the join and a wrench on one side?

use two wrenches. there's a plastic cover under the car just in front of the left rear wheel. remove the cover to expose the fittings. prepare to catch a little pentosin when you break the line.

Turned out to actually be the hose at the front of the pump. Was good practice getting the one pictured from the rear of the pump of anyway!

Hose has been repaired and I have picked up some VW power steering fluid part number G00 4000 M2. Now all I got to do is to put it all back together....

I got a fire sleeve over the rubber section of the hose too

Insite (or anyone else!) I think I may have cross threaded this fitting. It has done up tight, but I think it might be leaking still and Im not entirely happy that it looks straight....

Anyway, my question is, that part on the pump that it screws into, it looks like that can be removed? Is this correct?

Appreciate your help.

I think that is a seperate fitting, but not sure. Might be better to remove pulley & try installing line again & be worth it to buy best wrench for the job. (SNAP-ON)

yeah - it appears to be an A/F size nut which surprised me, thought everything was metric on these cars?

If anyone has a spare PS pump laying about or easily accessible, could you please see if this fiiting is seperate? Certainly looks to me like it is, but I dont want to drain my new fluid just to find out....

Sparked -

I checked; the fitting is removable. It takes a 28mm wrench.
