430 Need help finding a power steering hose.

My F430 I got a few months ago is now fully update to date on all its service and minor things sorted out. My last fluid I have not changed is the power steering, and that is because one of the power steering hoses I noticed has a minor drip on it from the top, could be the clamp, but I already said I would change both hoses from the reservoir to the pump anyway just as a precaution. One of the hoses I ordered was easy. But! the 2nd hose of course..... Places such as Ricambi and Scuderia parts says its not available anymore from Ferrari. Marenello parts said months ago it would be available in July, but now they said September. My local dealer tried too, they said July, now they are saying its not available anymore...

Does Ferrari really stop producing a part like this? Does anyone have any idea where else I can try? The part number is 196892 and sure, maybe I don't need it, but I wanted 2 new fresh hoses on there once I change the fluid. If anyone has any idea where I can look, or who may have it would be very much appreciated!

 

Thanks for the reply. I think I can make the leak stop... But my crazy OCD self just wants a new hose... But really disappointed everywhere I look cannot get it anymore. I'm sure somewhere someone may have this on the shelf?

 

It's just a rubber hose, but bent to shape... Sure a straight one can work.. But I don't want it

 

Ah great! Meaning it never will be? or just for now? LOL.... I still bet some place has stock, maybe one, or two... If only I can find one...

 

This the part in question. #18 on the diagram. I got #20, and that just came coiled up in circle, no different than how you would buy it and cut to length from a parts store. The easy one had to be the available one.....

No, but I do want perfect, and I do want OEM.

 

Again, if I needed this hose real bad, I would just buy a straight hose and it would do the job, or I could then go through the trouble of bending it. Remember, I can currently live without the hose. I'm still driving my car just fine. I just wanted to replace it when doing my fluid change and change both hoses any as a precautionary measure if you want to call it that.

 

Just an FYI, I got a brand new hose.... despite many places such as Ricambi, Scuderia car parts and local dealers saying no longer available.... Marenello cart parts in the UK said they can try to place an order for it from the factory.. I said lets try.. Maybe 3 or 4 days later they emailed me saying they received the part from the factory! days later I received it in my hands delivered fast by DHL. The hose has a production date of only around 2-3 weeks ago stamped on it! So so much for places saying no longer available....

 

Really? that is stupid of Ferrari, the 430 is a common enough car and the windscreen is a part that can be easily damaged while driving. I hate seeing they don't make these basic things anymore.

 

I wound up installing my new hose finally a few weeks ago. I will say, it was a pain the in the ass to change. But its done. Its nicer than the original hose that was on there, that one was just rubber, this is rubber with like a cloth material over it, looks good. I wound up getting 2 of these. If anyone wants one, I will sell the other for $58 which is the price I paid for it. Has date stamp of August of 2022 on it.
