Steering: Service and Repair

Power steering pump, reservoir, and hydraulic lines for vehicles with 8 cylinder injection engines

Assembly overview

There is no provision for servicing the power steering pump. If a malfunction is present, the pump must be replaced.

Note:
^ If the fluid level in the reservoir is low, the steering system must be inspected for leaks.
^ If there are leaks in the area of the line connections, the fines/connections must first be inspected for leaks, tightened as necessary and wiped dry.
^ Pumps from service parts inventory do not contain fluid. They must be filled with hydraulic fluid G 002 000 before installation and turned by hand, otherwise pump noise or damage can result in operation.
^ Type of fluid: Hydraulic fluid G 002 000
^ System oil capacity: 0.7 0.9L
