Steering: Description and Operation

Power Steering And Hydraulic Fluid Circuit, Assembly Overview

Notes:
^ Check the steering system for leaks if the fluid level in the reservoir is low. It is not sufficient to just top off fluid.
^ If there are leaks at the line connections, first tighten connections, wipe dry and then re-check for leaks.
^ Type of fluid: hydraulic fluid G 002 000.

CAUTION:
^ Part numbers are listed here for reference only.
^ Pumps supplied as replacement parts are not filled with fluid. Therefore it is essential to fill the pump with hydraulic fluid G 002 000 and to rotate pump several times by hand, otherwise the pump maybe damaged or noisy during operation.
