Power steering DIY

[bimmeracer3]

i have a power steering leek and am going change to lines. I was just wondering if i can change the power steering filter or do i have to change to whole reservoir.

and what parts and part #'s will i need.

i believe i read that the filter was part of the reservior. so you need the whole thing

you might wanna try just change the clamps first to see if it stops leaking. the oem clamps tend to not hold the rubber hose good after a few years.

does anyone know how much atf fluid is needed?

it isn't much, less then 2 liters anyway, two bottles will leave you with some left over.
they tend to leak from the hose at the bottom of the reservior, but the fluid isn't mentioned in any service docs etc..

[enda320]

and the price i got listed is £25 in UK so not hugely expensive for the reservior

the resivor is cheap. like 14 bux. might as well change it while ur putting new fluid in too
