Preliminary Action

Before any problem solving is undertaken it is essential that the fluid level and where applicable, belt tension, is checked and if required corrected.

Caution: It is imperative that the power steering system does not become contaminated in any way. Always decant fluid from a fresh sealed container and clean the area around the reservoir neck both before and after topping-up. Never return drained fluid to the system.
