Bleeding air from the power steering system

            0

1. Unscrew the oil fill plug in the power steering system and check the oil level in the system (with cold oil). If necessary, add oil to the required level.

Attention! Oil should be added slowly. Do not swing the container to prevent the formation of air bubbles in the tank.


2. Disconnect negative wire (terminal "1") from the ignition coil.

3. Engage the starter several times (each time for about 2 seconds), while simultaneously turning the steering wheel from lock to lock and adding oil all the time (need someone else's help) until the oil level in the reservoir stabilizes and until air bubbles stop coming out of the oil.

4. Check the oil level, top up if necessary and screw on the plug.

5. Connect the electrical wire to the ignition coil.

6. Carry out a test drive and, after stopping the vehicle, check the tightness of the power steering system connections.

7. Finally check the oil level in the reservoir with the power steering oil hot.
