Power Steering Fluid: Testing and Inspection

00 00 ... - Steering fluid reservoir: checking fluid level, topping up if necessary





Visual inspection and leak test
Check connections, hoses and steering gear for traces of fluid.





Checking fluid level
Check fluid level with engine switched off at expansion tank of power steering/ride-height control system.
If necessary, add hydraulic fluid (refer to Service Information Operating Fluids) up to Max. marking (1).

Important!
If the fluid level has dropped to the Min. marking (2), you must check the power steering and ride-height control for leaks and issue a separate invoice for this work.
It is not enough merely to top up the fluid.
