Scutch0 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hi guys, I've been suffering with a issue with my power steering lately, at times when it's under load it's making a hell of a groaning noise, it's topped up and there are no leaks in the system whatsoever. I've seen someone on here talking about Cleaning the filter mesh? I've done a search but came up with nothing, can anyone help? And will this solve my issue? As the steering so isn't heavy when it happens, it's just very noisy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Take out the header tank and give it a good washing through with petrol, you will see the mesh filter in the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scutch0 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Oh ok, brilliant! I assume it'll be a drain the fluid job then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Only what comes out of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 As David said but with mine I had to poke around abit inside with a screw driver to release some crud. Use a light to see what's in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I changed my power steering fluid because it was starting to smell. Prevention is always far better than a cure. Dip your finger in and if its darker or smelling less than sweet than new fluid then change it. If its darker and gritty that's not a good sign.
