Drain/ change power steering fluid 2.0 dispatch mk2

Unread post by bitsas004 »

Hi, struggling to find any information on how to change the power steering fluid on 2014 2.0 dispatch. On mechanical pumps i used to disconnect the return line, dump old fluid that way whiles at the same time filling the reservoir with new fluid, how ever my dispatch has electric pump and cant see any return lines to the reservoir.
is there any video or any information in maintenance manuals on how to flush most of the old fluid out ?

Draining

Slacken the front right wheel bolts.
Lift and support the vehicle.

Remove:
  • The front right wheel bolt
  • The front right wheel
  • The protective panel under the engine
  • Open the power steering hydraulic circuit filler cap .

Place a tray underneath the vehicle.
Uncouple the power steering valve pipes (5) (at "a") (Be prepared for the flow of power steering fluid).
Turn the steering from lock to lock in each direction.
Wait for the oil to finish draining.

Refill with Total Fluide DA

Tutela is generally used for Piloted Actuators - so DO NOT put this anywhere near your power steering reservoir unless it is specifically Stated. For Electro Pump Power Steering systems is is generally LDS or Fluide DA that is required.
