Most Power Steering units use the generic power steering fluid available at most auto part stores. However, some import makes are different, sometimes using different fluid types in different years. Your best bet is to check the manual for the correct type. Volvo 240 manual specifies the following: Power steering fluid Capacity: 0.8 US qts = 0.75 liters.
Fluid type: ATF
Replace: no fluid change required.
The dipstick is attached to the cap. Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX marks. Add fluid when the level is at the ADD mark. The ATF in question is Dexron/Mercon, also used in the 240's automatic transmission. You may find it in different types, like II or III. The later type supersedes and replaces the older type. If you have to add fluid more often than once every couple of months, look for leaks. Hoses would be the first place to check, followed by pump and rack.
The book says ATF which is automatic transmision fluid.
Open the hood, look to your right (driver's side ). On a bracket bolted to the strut tower just above the battery there is a black square bottle with two hoses. The cap should say POWER STEERING FLUID. Check fluid type - I know later 240s use Dexron ATF rather than power steering fluid.
I was a Mercedes mechanic. My 1998 E320 wagon has a combined hydraulic fluid resivoir for the automatic load leveling and power steering. I buy the fluid from a dealer.
Yes but you have to be in level three orbit to do so
115 bhp is the power of the Volvo 145 wagon 1974 engine and its maximum speed is 9 mph.
It should be mounted on the front, driver's side of the engine. It will have a belt and pulley, as well as have it's power steering fluid reservoir attached to it.
Most of the E-class wagons have the hydraulic suspension systems for the rear level control. This fluid is also used as the power steering fluid in this car. The reservoir is on the front right side of the engine if looking in from the front of the car. Note, this takes hydraulic fluid though, and not power steering fluid. The part number for the fluid is: A 001-989-03-10. This is good for 1996 up to 2001. Its called Fuchs, Titan zh 5364 B. Hope this helps!
88 kW / 120 Hp is the power of the Volvo 265 wagon 1976 engine and its maximum speed is 170 km/h.
There is a pressure release screw or bleeder on the power steering system in a 1999 Mercury Sable wagon.
In replacing the power steering pump on a 1993 Toyota Camry wagon with V6 engine, make sure to replace the steering pressure hose and clamp also. The leaks on both the hose and the clamp are the cause of the broken power steering pump.
You'd be thinking of a Volvo station wagon.
Dexon IID, IIE, or III. Any Dexon III is fine, and it's what I use. -Bob, 1986 Volvo 240DL wagon
