Flushing out the power steering pump
« on: 04 October 2009, 14:15:51 »
Steering getting a bit stiff when parking up or car is stationary so im going to flush it out and replace the fluid...
Is there a union on the steering rack i can undo so i can drain the lot out or do i just empty the reservoir and refill that? :-/

do change the fluid, but its most likey a tired pump. Try keeping the revs up and see if that helps.
