Power steering pump with bracket, diesel engine

Warning

Remember that the servo system is highly sensitive to impurities, so observe the strictest cleanliness when working on the power steering system.


Note

The power steering pump is available separately as a spare part which means that the bracket does not require dismantling provided it is not damaged. See Power steering pump, diesel engine .

23. Fill up the system with fresh fluid as per specification.

Note

• Always use fresh fluid.

• Do not turn the steering wheel. Air could then get into the system and be the cause of longer bleeding times.


24. Run the engine for 5 seconds.

Warning

The pump could be damaged if the engine is run for longer than 5 seconds.


25. Check the fluid level in the reservoir and top up as necessary. At 20 ° C, it should be midway between the MAX and MIN marks.

26. Start the engine again and run it until the fluid in the reservoir stops bubbling. Use a torch to see properly.

An abnormally loud noise from the pump indicates that there is still some air in the system.

27. Stop the engine and check the fluid level. Top up as necessary.

28. Check the pump connections for leaks.
