1993 400e rescue

I've got a small leak between the power steering reservoir and the pump. Its a short rubber hose that goes through the metal stand. This thread here is talking about the 500e tandem pump but my 400e is not a tandem pump:


The epc shows either 46mm for vickers or 53mm for ZF. But it shows the same part number for both ?

006 997 09 82

What am I missing here?

Is there anything else I need to order besides the hose (crush washer etc)?

The hose is sold by the meter. You just cut it to length for your application. It's low pressure and is just held in place on both ends with hose clamps.

You probably want a reservoir gasket, as well as a power steering fluid filter. This would also be a good time to deal with things like leaking cam seals or solenoid magnets.
