there's a tank for it and the lid has a dipstick. buy the fluid online and fill the tank to the mark on the dipstick. if you do it wrong the wosrst that could happen is you get really touchy steering but that could easily be fixed by draining some of the fluid.
im 14 so that answer was pretty impressive if i do say so myself
In the power steering fluid tank
on the lid to the power steering pump fluid tank
The BMW 318i has a tank inside the engine that houses the power steering fluid. This tank is near the oil cap.
The power steering fluid for it is actually the transmission fluid. It should be Mercron. Is this suposed to go in the power steering chamber or the transmission chamber to work. The fluid in my 2006 Ford Escape XLT steering fluid tank is black.
means you will need to top up fluid in power steering tank
I have a 2000 jetta gls, and the power steering fluid tank is located on the p[assenger side in the engine compartment next to the fuel lines and the washer fluid tank, it has a green lid with a picture of a steering whel on it, hope that helps.
there's a reservoir tank under the hood the cap says power steering fluid which should be near the brake fluid reservoir
If you insert the oil in the tank, where power steering fluid should be, then yes, it´s harmful.
It will Probably EXPLODE!!
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.
On most vehicles Power steering is NOT powered by any electric circuit. It is usually powered directly by a belt from the engine. It can be located usually below a small tank fillled with power steering fluid, it has a short dipstick on the cap to help prevent overfilling the tank. You may be mistaking the air conditioner pump for the power steering pump, as it has an electrical connector to its clutch enabling the air conditioner to be enabled only as needed.
No, but why would you add P/S fluid to your gasoline? No benefit in doing this.
