Receiver cap with liquid level indicator
A – top mark; B – bottom mark
Caution! Check the fluid level in the power steering hydraulic system receiver when the engine is cold.
Caution! Do not reuse the fluid from the system: it is contaminated and saturated with air and moisture.
Caution! Use only fluids recommended by the manufacturer.
1. Disconnect the wire from the "-" terminal of the battery. On some cars there is a battery holder (larger size) closes the receiver cover. In this case, you need to remove the battery and its holder (see subsection 10.2).
2. If necessary, remove the air filter (see subsection 4.1).
3.Unscrew cover 9 (see figureHydraulic power steering components) receiver and wipe the liquid level indicator installed on the plug with a clean cloth (see the figure Receiver cap with liquid level indicator).
4. Screw the cap on all the way and then unscrew it again. The fluid level should be between the upper A and lower B marks on the gauge.
Caution! Do not use the MIN and MAX marks on the receiver to check the fluid level.
5. If the fluid level is below mark B, add working fluid to the receiver, having first checked the tightness of the hydraulic system.
6. If the fluid level exceeds mark A, excess fluid must be removed. Please note that when the engine is hot (engine coolant temperature above 50°C), the power steering hydraulic fluid level exceeds the A mark.
