How to Bleed Air After Replacing Power Steering Fluid?
1 Answers
When replacing power steering fluid, first start the car and use an oil extractor to completely remove the old fluid. Then turn the steering wheel back and forth to allow the new fluid to penetrate, which also serves as a cleaning function. It's best to turn the wheel fully left and right. Extract the fluid from the power steering reservoir again, then refill with new power steering fluid, and turn the steering wheel once more. The purpose of this repeated operation is to ensure the old fluid is completely removed. Then refill with new fluid. Experts remind that no fluids should be mixed. You may hear a slight "whooshing" sound - this is normal as the fluid circulates, and the sound will gradually disappear. Experts warn against running the engine without fluid for extended periods.
