Power steering fluid changed at the weekend

Been doing a bit of servicing lately. Got round to changing the PAS fluid at the weekend. Not sure I used the best method, but I replaced about 1.6 litres, so should be ok.

The car's a '96 and has covered 90,000 miles. By the looks of the fluid it had never been changed, very brown in colour. Worth doing I'd suggest, specially on early cars (10 y.o. +).

£17 in fluid and an hour or so faffing about. Job done

...or in my case £17 in fluid and an hour's worth of labour from the garage who do it as i'm crap at anything vaguely technical...

hmm ive been meaning to do mine, does it make a lot of difference>..?

ill get chris wilson to do it next time im there i think

Made no difference to the performace of the system, just gave me peace of mind that it's running on new clean fluid rather than the brown shite that came out.

I'll do a complete gearbox flush next I think, as the fluid in that looks like it could do with a flush.

thats about £100 worth of fluid i just did a drain and refill.

I was thinking the same, but after seeing the stuff that came out of the pas system, I dread to think what the gearbox fluid is like.

I assume the gearbox fluid has a far harder life??
