    Due to a sharp edge on the guide for the high-pressure pipe that cuts
into the cavity, enough clamping force may not be reached. This may lead to
oil leakage.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
   
   
    
   
   
    Leakage occurs at connection high-pressure pipe and power steering pump.
    
    
    
      
    
    
   
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
   
    
     
      | 1. | Loosen the hollow screw for the banjo fitting approx.180 degrees
or until the banjo and the pipe become loose and can be moved easily by hand. 
 
   
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 2. | From the original position, turn the banjo fitting carefully some
degree anti-clockwise, hold it in position and tighten the hollow screw and
torque. 
 Tightening torque 32 Nm (24 lbf ft)

      | 3. | Clean the pump carefully and check for leakages at high joining. 
 
 | 
    
   
  
  
   
    
     
      | 4. | If there still is a leakage replace the seal for the banjo joining
and repeat issue.
