Hi All,
The HICAS light came on the other day and not long after the power steering turned off...opened the bonnet and there was fluid all around the reservoir and leaking onto the ground, though it only appears to be leaking when the engine is on. Added more fluid and the HICAS light went off and power steering returned to normal but it wasn't long before the HICAS light came on again.
Dropped the car off to my regular service place and they came back and advised that one of the high pressure hoses going to the rack(?) is cracked/split and is leaking the oil. I was advised that to replace the hose properly the engine would have to come out or almost out to fix the issue. Does this sound correct that the engine has to be lifted/removed to have the high pressure hoses replaced?
thanks guys
