"I have a 1999 VW Passat 2WD V6 with a power steering hose leaking. It is one of the hoses from the reservoir to the pump. The metal section has a kink in it (I assume from an accident) and is leaking. HOW DO I REPLACE OR REPAIR THIS HOSE?"
Better to replace if kinked just disconect form both ends wherever its conected put new pipe on refill power assist resivwar and turn steering lock to lock when started

This is not going to be the answer you want.
get a second opinion, it may not be the pressure line.
then pay the mechanic to repair or replace the defective part.
While it is not that difficult of a task with the proper tools and equipment, doing it in the driveway or home garage can be a real pain.
If you are really wanting to do this, go to your local library and see if they have a Chiltons manual for your car that you can check out. It will give you step by step instructions.

Well sounds like your pressure side of the powersteering has blown the hose.. you need to order a new pressure hose from the parts store and get it replaced and refill the powersteering tank.. Thanks jerry ...

Go to www.vagcat.com and sign up for your car (it's free). Once you've done so, you can browse through exploded diagrams for your car, and each diagram has the manufacturer's part numbers for each part listed.

Thermostat is most likely. Try that first, then my next choice would be water pump. Good luck.

It runs next to the high pressure hose from the pump to the reservoir. It's 3/4 inch hose, it's held on with clamps, unlike the high pressure hose that has compressed fittings. Your best bet is to remove the hose and match it up with a parts store.
