hi
is anyone know a good method for this kind of job?
if i only soack the fluid from the filling point it is barely 200ml :\

Hi...changed the majority of my pas fluid by taking off the low pressure return to the reservoir extended it to a container and started the car and turned the steering wheel while topping up at the same time...It wont flush it all out but gets most of it changed..good luck

 

[RsRacer]

Thought so.. been looking for more cleany way hah.

Thanks
Btw the low pressure pipe is the small metal one right?

 

[neecola]

Not sure which engine you have but on 2.0HDi its underneath the car on the left side. It is attached to a pipe that goes in front of the radiator (since 2 days ago I found out that PS has oil cooler in form of an bent pipe that is in front of the radiator)

 

[RsRacer]

Its 2.0 that producing 143hp (RFJ i suppose) not sure about the hdi .
How ever i think its location is like you said

Hi..your looking for the low pressure return pipe ...the small rubber one the goes to the pas reservoir..the metal one is the high pressure feed to the rack

 

[RsRacer]

The rubber is the big and the metal is the small.. maybe we dont have the same system-ill get a pic

 

[RsRacer]

Here
Rubber goes to radiator's side and metal goes to left behind the engine

 

[noddy-hol]

yep the rubber one

 

[RsRacer]

I see..
Can i just disconnect it from the pump instead of under the car?(if its possible at all- with its weird clamp)
Or its a risk of spreading fluid all over lol

 

[noddy-hol]

yep...replace the clip with a jubilee or similar

 

[RsRacer]

Great ! Thanks
Do i have to leave the hole open while the process or block [email protected]

 

[noddy-hol]

open will be fine...2 man job tho..or it will get messy...just extend the rubber pipe into a container and fill at the same time...

 

[RsRacer]

Alrighty
Thx mate

 

[RsRacer]

That was hard lol .
I barely could pour the right amount while the engine was running-it drained soooo fast.
Didnt even turned the steering wheel -the fluid just flew thru the system.
Ive put almost 2litres in few secs!

 

[noddy-hol]

well done....your flow was better as I used a long small bore pipe inside the rubber one,,,,,but hey ho...job done..

 

[RsRacer]

Well yeah,too bad you didnt tell me hah .
But i think there is still air in the system,even more than before

 

[noddy-hol]

I changed mine because I felt the oil needed freshening up.....what problems have you got?It may not be a pas problem

 

[RsRacer]

Shuddering/vibrates on stationary turning :/

 

[noddy-hol]

have you jacked up the car and tried to move the wheels with the engine of....top and bottom swivels can cause notchiness at the steering wheel...air in pas fluid normaly causes frothiness ..if that makes sense
