Power Steering Fluid Replacement: (Approx:- 1 Ltr)
- You need to have the car jacked and supported so that both front wheels are off the ground.
- If you look at the power steering reservoir you should see that it has a bottom hose and a top hose. The top one is the return.
- Take the top hose off and point it into a collecting container. Have your bottle of new fluid open and ready near you.
- Have a helper start the engine and then slowly turn the steering from lock to lock.
- As the wheel is turned the fluid will disappear out the reservoir and will spray out the return hose into the container your holding.
- Keeping a close eye, fill up the reservoir with new fluid when it gets near the bottom.
- Once the fluid coming out the return looks like its new and clean switch off the engine and reconnect the return hose to its rightful place, then top up to the correct level.
