If your rack and pinion steering unit is leaking power steering fluid, you most likely have blown a seal in the unit. These are gennerally non-repaiable. Replace the rack and pinion unit. Not an easy job, but an intermediate knowledge home mechanic can do it.

What is the idling speed for a 1.4i vauxhall corsa 1998

Hi Michelle, Check all the vacuum hoses for leakage and tightness of fit. Also check to make sure there are no leakages on the intake manifold. The problem could be the cold start, AC or steering up idle. I suggest a diagnostic scan which will pin point the problem. Regards John

The speedometer cable is bad. They get dry and start making noise and smell like it is burning. You will need to replace the speedometer cable. It is not real expensive. Probably about $100 depending on where you take the truck.

The engine makes noise (knocks) when it runs.

Could be a lot of things, but engine bearings will knock in different ways.
A rod bearing knocks under acceleration. a main bearing knocks under decelaration.

wrist pins can knock in the piston

worn valve train components can raise a racket also.

A mechanics stethoscope can help locate the source.

Nope the throw out bearing is fine if there is no noise from the bell housing, but it sounds like your clutch is worn and needs to be replaced. Good luck and check to see if your have enough fluid in your clutch hydraulic system and top it off and this may get you a few more days before you get the clutch replaced.

Where is the high pressure connection for the air conditioner

hi! there,
usually located on high side or discharge presure of the compresor, the discharge service valve fitting equiped w/ cup and pin auto valve ,loosen and remove service cap of service valve fitting,.as you remove the service cap no leak should take place due to it has a pin to locked the pressure on the sysrem . the guage manifold has a host and service port at the end of the host,the sevice port has a tip ball inside port when you connect your pressure guage manifold to test the discharge pressure the tip ball of port will push the pin valve service fitting and opening occued on discharge service valve and the pressure gauge activated and you can the operating discharge pressure.

in your case opening of cap then leakage appear maybe the pin valve was mis aligned or distorted,the service valve was repairable it can repair,but you have to evacuate all freon inside the
system.freon leakage is bad for our environment
use evacuating pump and service tank,after the freon evacuated repair service valve there is pin remover to pull out pin valve sometime cup has pin remover or ask on car air service center.the pin valve has screw type spring attachment replace pin valve and recharge the system you can use the previuos freon on service tank evacuated.
