My 2001 PT developed a power steering leak. I took it to the shop.
They said it was the PS fluid cooler. BUT, Chrysler did an upgrade,
you just can't replace the cooler. You have to replace the hydraulic
lines and the resovoir. They said to check with a dealer, maybe
there's a recall or a hidden warranty that would cover the additional
parts and labor. So I did.
There is NO help from Chrysler. I have to do the whole repair, AND PAY
FOR IT! The cooler costs $97.75, but with it, the additional parts and
labor, it's a $500+ job.
I can't bypass the cooler, I don't want to buy a salvage cooler,
anyone have any ideas on how to repair this problem for a lower price?
By the way, you'll notice I had just posted a reply to a "ticking"
sound in a Cruiser. This was BEFORE I found out the cost of the power
steering leak repair.
