EHPS hydraulic system, filling and bleeding
|
Important
|
The EHPS system must not be run dry. Do not reuse drained fluid. Fill the hydraulic system with special fluid.
|
|
The electro-hydraulic power steering system is bled automatically when the engine is running. Due to the afterflow in the hydraulic system the level in the electro-hydraulic power steering unit reservoir will fall. After the following procedure has been performed a small quantity of air may still remain in the system. This is not negative as EHPS is bled further during driving.
