This little washer basically creates a watertight seal around the high – pressure line where it connects to the steering pump itself. It prevents power steering fluid—which is vital for making your steering easy—from leaking out at that connection point. It’s a really simple part, but a critical one. Think of it like this: the steering pump provides the power to help you turn the wheel, and the fluid is the muscle doing the work. This washer acts like a shield, making sure that ‘muscle’ stays contained. Without it, you’ll lose fluid, and that can lead to bigger problems down the road. It's right there at the connection point of the high – pressure line to the pump housing. If that fluid leaks, you’ll notice if your steering gets harder, especially at low speeds or when parking. You might also hear a whining noise coming from the pump as it struggles. Plus, low fluid can actually damage the pump itself, leading to a much more expensive repair. They’re cheap to replace, so it’s always best to address a leak right away. We stock a lot of these, and you can often find them online at places like Fixparts Online if you prefer to do the work yourself. It's one of those small things that keeps everything running smoothly and safely. Scania quality assured: Washer (MPN 0282765) includes a 12-month warranty!
