Hi Scotty, my 02 Volvo S40 used to be noisy every time I turned the steering wheel. I did as you suggested, taking out some of the old power steering fluid with a manual pump, putting new fluid in and driving around a bit. I did this about fifteen times as I could only get about 100 ml out each time, and now it's just perfect. There is no sound, no noisd, and steering feels much smoother. All this for about $15 worth of fluid. I can't thank you enough! Thanks a lot from Rome, Italy!!

@luckyduckydrivingschool3615 2 года назад

You can also jack the front of the car up so you can turn the wheel easily, then run the car and turn the wheel back and forth while you suck out the old fluid and put in new fluid in the reservoir. It will cycle the fluid more quickly and you can basically flush the whole system in one procedure. Just make sure you buy maybe twice as much capacity for your system because you want to cycle through enough fluid until it all looks clean before topping it off for normal use.

@aidanmontgomery9772 6 лет назад

Just a tip, if you don't have a turkey baster, or you don't want to use the one you have in the house, get an old soap bottle pump or something similar and use that to pump all of the old fluid out into a container of some sort.

@dragonore2009 5 лет назад

So I was one of those guys who always made sure I had an oil change during regular intervals 5k miles, coolant flushes, and changing out transmission fluid (and seals) every 60 to 100k miles or whatever the manufacture suggested, but never power steering. Well one day I went outside and there was power steering fluid on the ground, turned out my rack and pinion went bad had to get it replaced which cost alot. I wish I had thought of the power steering fluid as much as I did the other fluids, so now I do.

@melaniew77msn 6 лет назад

I like the turkey baster method. I do it every 50K or 5 years. The cost of changing the fluid is super cheap. The oil will break down over time from the high pressure. You can also find good success with just pulling out all that is in the reservior holds and filling up at every oil change. Many ways to do it right the only wrong answer is neglect. People please heed Scotty's advice and warnings I used to be a fleet mechanic so I can tell you that being on a good maintenance plan makes a huge difference in the life expectancy of your car and the amount of repairs. I would also like to add to remember your brake fluid, differentials, transfer cases and cooling system. Old fuel filters can strain fuel pumps and hurt the MPG and performance of your car. Don't forget those inexpensive PCV valves. Buy a good Haynes manual and invest some time on saturday your vehicle and wallet will thank you. Most of these jobs can be done with a cheap tool set from Harbor Freight.

@cardo1111 6 лет назад

Good one. I always thought I was getting the "royal flush" when the dealership and others pushed the power steering flush. Good info, although as you pointed out with newer vehicles often using electric assist. The power steering flush is on its way out. The new bread and butter for the auto service industry for newer vehicles seems to be reflashing/pre and post scans for everything...

@radon360 6 лет назад

The electric power steering not only improves powertrain efficiency, it allows the automakers to do all those tricks like lane keep assist, automated parallel parking, "stick shaker" warnings and ultimately will be an integral part of self-driving modes at some point in future models.

@pashko90 6 лет назад

@ashs3380 5 лет назад

All of which is unnecessary. If you need your car to park for you, you shouldn't drive as it is. I can see where the reasoning to transition from hydraulic to electric comes from. Not a bad concept. But I'd rather keep my power steering.

I went into the shop and spoke to the mechanic and asked him to show me why these fluids needed changing, He said PS fluid should be yellow, Fluid in the pump was red. which is what I've always known it should be. Told them no to the fluid changes and they were not happy with my decision, FYI< I have a 2012 Chevy equinox V6 with 62K and in excellent condition. Beware out there.

@pedrofernandez3893 6 лет назад

I used to think that electric power steering sucked, but I now realize it's better than hydraulic. The old fashioned one would be on all the time putting out loads of pressure on the hoses and rack regardless whether you needed it or not, such as driving on a long stretch of road, the electric one only works when you need it. Others say that you don''t "feel" what the front wheels are doing with electric ones. But I have a GT86 with electric steering and it's almost psychic as far as how fast it reacts to my inputs.

@MV60 6 лет назад

Really depends on the manufacturer. I hate the steering in a mazda cx5, it's very laggy to respond. But the electric rack in our yaris is just fine, very precise and quick. I toyed with the idea of upgrading the steering in mine to electric, but the cost and work around of getting one in, I put that project on the back burner. I like the electric because you don't have to worry about the maintenance, plus heat, the hydraulic systems run blistering hot.

@pedrofernandez3893 6 лет назад

I just wonder how durable they are, as far as steering feeling, you are absolutely correct. Some cars are very quick to respond and have little play in the wheel, some like the Altima are like driving in slush. I also have a Yaris and the steering is more responsive than the Corolla I used to own which was hydraulic. In that Corolla I went though 2 racks, one pump and various hoses.

I had a 1953 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe. It had power steering in it. But it felt like the steering wheel wasn't attached to anything at all. It also had a Dyna-Flow transmission. You had to push in the clutch to go forward and then it would shift automatically as long as you were going forward. To go in reverse you had to push in the clutch again and then again to go forward. I had it in 1976, was the 1st car I ever bought. It was so cool and unique to what all my friends were driving.

@Meta-Drew 4 года назад

My truck is 18 years old but only has 54k miles. No problems with the power steering but the fluid was dark black so I figured it was probably a good idea to change it. Last week I bought a gallon of power steering fluid used 3/4ths of it changing the fluid before it started coming out actually looking like power steering fluid and not like crude oil. I'll probably do one more change in a month or two once this new stuff has really worked through the system. Like I said, my steering felt fine before, maybe feels just a bit tighter and smoother now or it could be placebo, but either way I'll be keeping on top of this much better from now on.

@davidjames666 6 лет назад

Ryan Amy and if you do, don't put it back. The turkey tastes like a transmission clutch pack.

I used the pump for her lotion bottle because her turkey baster wouldn't fit between the pump and fender :p

Ever had this moment? "You did what? Steering fluid in the brake system? o.O Oh no /sigh"

@paulbroderick8438 5 лет назад

Owned a 1993 Honda Civic from new and never changed the steering pump oil, only top-ups. Never had a problem.

I love electric power steering! One less oil stain on my driveway ;)

@Ms.Fowlbwahhh 6 лет назад

Jonny DIY same here. I like the design honda has on my si where the motor isn’t connected right to the steering wheel so you get more feel in the wheel.

Just better hope the belt design in them has gotten better. The real achilles heel of the newer system.

@Artchred 6 лет назад

More electronics more problems in the future

@derekisthematrix 6 лет назад

Artchred exactly. Not sure mass produced electric power steering has been around long enough to estimate longevity. Electric motors are generally very simple and shouldn't break but...

@Cragified 6 лет назад

It's not the motors but the control electronics he means. And yes it is a problem as several demonstrations showing it is possible to hack into a car and give steering imputs that the driver didn't give have shown. Still the biggest longevity problem is still the belt, it is the weak link and will fail before the motor does.

I am cheap. I still have a 1986 mazda b2000. Did not come with power steering. Still drive the truck to this day. Neighbor has a 6 year old Nissan, $1200 to have the rack replace.

@Pukwudgie_Surprise 6 лет назад

Jim Fusco That Nissan should have electric power steering unless it's a very recent addition. I say this because my 2013 Nissan is electric PS.

@johnferguson7235 6 лет назад

My old Volvo has hydraulic power steering while my Acura has the electronic. You can feel the difference when hoping back and forth between vehicles but both work well. I changed the fluid in the Volvo at 10 years and 100,000 miles because it uses the Petosin mineral oil type fluid.

@j.t.cooper2963 4 года назад

Now that I see how you drive customers cars, I wouldn't let you check my oil, let alone flat spotting my tires for me.

I hear ya loud & clear, J.T. -- People here RAVE about Scotty's amazing abilities -- without realizing or understanding what they're witnessing -- meanwhile, the tire flat-spotting goes un-noticed.

@wildbill23c 6 лет назад

Next up, where's the automatic transmission fluid dipstick. LOL. Toyota removed those, they don't want you messin' with their transmissions. You just have to crawl under the vehicle and pull the check plug like you would on a manual transmission.

@pault5179 6 лет назад

Changed mine by running engine 1-2 s at a time, and replace reservoir contents each time. Also added a friction eliminator additive after a pin hole leak on a coolant pipe in front of the radiator caused all the fluid to drain out (fixed with some bike inner tube and a tiny fuel line jubilee clip)

I got 242000 miles on Accord and never change power steering fluid, so maybe that why I had to replace the pump last month . Also has rack and pinion leak. Should of done this 10 years ago and I may not have today's problem.
