Rack and pinion steering components
1 - Power steering pump;
2 - oil radiator;
3 - return pipeline;
4 - steering mechanism;
5 - discharge pipeline;
6 - hollow bolt;
7 - liquid tank;
8 - suction hose;
9 — sealing ring.
Tightening torques for hose connections: M10 thread – 10 Nm, M14 thread – 35 Nm, M16 thread – 40 Nm.
Power steering pump mount
1 - pulley;
2 - front mounting bracket;
3 — power steering pump;
4 — bolt M8x95;
5 — bolt M8x65.
Note: When unscrewing and removing the bracket from the cylinder block, mark the position and number of spacers so that they can be installed correctly in the same positions. Tightening torque of the bolts is 20 Nm.
Filling the power steering system with fluid and bleeding air
The hydraulic system must be bled of air when the lines are removed. Always top up with fresh fluid, as even the smallest contaminants can cause damage to the hydraulic system. Fluid specifications: Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) with the designation Dexron II D, for example:
- SHELL — ATF Dexron II D-21-631
- MOBIL — ATF 22-D-20104
- TOTAL — Dexron II D-21298
The suitability of other ATF fluids should be clarified in a specialized workshop.
With the engine not running, remove the fluid reservoir cap.
Start the engine and let it idle. Add fluid to the lower MIN mark.
Caution: The pump must not operate if there is no liquid in the tank.
Slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock twice.
Check the fluid level and top up if necessary.
Turn off the engine and check the fluid level again.
Add liquid up to the MAX mark. When adding liquid, add it in small portions. The total amount of liquid is 1.2 l.
Close the tank.
The fluid level when the fluid is cold should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick. The fluid is considered cold at a temperature of 20°C.
