Withdrawal
1. Remove all liquid from the tank (e.g. with a syringe).
2. Loosen clamps (clamps) hoses and remove both hoses.
3. Turn off nuts of fastening and remove a tank.
Note: To prevent foreign bodies from entering the hydraulic fluid, the hoses must be plugged immediately after they are disconnected from the reservoir nozzles. Contaminated fluid can cause premature wear of steering components and loss of steering function.
At installation tighten nuts of fastening of a tank the moment of 7 Nm.
Removing air from the system
To bleed air trapped in the steering system, do the following.
1. Check fluid level in reservoir and drive belt tension. If necessary, add fluid up to the MIN level mark.
2. Start the engine.
3. Bleeding the system is done by turning the steering wheel from side to side (but not to extremes) with the engine running.
Attention: do not hold the steering wheel in extreme positions, as this may cause damage to the power steering pump.
Air will be purged from the system when normal steering action is achieved.
Checking the level of adding liquid
The power steering fluid level is determined either by the mark on the reservoir or by the marks on the fluid level indicator on the reservoir cap.
During the operation of the car, the hydraulic fluid heats up to 60°C, which leads to its expansion. Liquid level (in a warm state) must be between the MAX and MIN·marks.
At normal ambient temperature (about 2GS) the fluid level must be at the MIN·mark.
Note: Use only DEXRON II-D or DEXRON III Power Steering Fluid for topping up and replacing. Using the wrong fluid can damage hoses, seals and gaskets and cause fluid to leak. Monitor and maintain the correct fluid level in the power steering reservoir.
