Can an Audi Steering Gear with Water Ingress Be Repaired?
1 Answers
Audi steering gear with water ingress can be repaired. Below are the maintenance methods for the steering gear: 1. Check the spool valve: Verify its proper functioning. If it fails to close tightly due to excessive clearance, replace the steering screw and spool valve with new ones. 2. Inspect the sealing rings on the power piston: Ensure the sealing effectiveness of the intermediate sealing ring in the radial groove of the valve chamber. Replace if necessary. Also, check the cylinder surface for any damage. 3. Examine the sealing of the check valve's ball and seat: If it fails to close tightly due to dirt, clean thoroughly. If the valve body itself causes improper sealing, replace it with a new one.
