cplmadison Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi Has anyone done their own Power Steering flush? Mine needs doing pretty urgently its only done 28k miles but the fluid is pretty brown looking and I suspect its the original factory stuff which needs to come out anyway (dont want any blown hoses!) Just curious where the return hose is and how easy it is to get to. I have to 2010 2.0 CRD SXT (europe model) I know the engine is different to the US ones but I suspect the power steering stuff is all the same (just on the correct side of the car :P ) I'll be doing an oil change anyway so will have the belly pan off, so if someone could direct me in the right direction of the return hose that would be appreciated. I have 2 litres of the Valvoline Fully sythetic atf+4 ready to go in (I assume is this enough?) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cplmadison Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 actually found this video on youtube: seems much easier than removing the return hose ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 actually found this video on youtube: seems much easier than removing the return hose ! this would work but you have to do it many times to flush out the lines,better to remove the return line if possible and slowly add as it drains... good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked in the owners manual and it doesnt state the capacity for the psf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cplmadison Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Royal purple makes a synthetic ps fluid. I'd suggest using it as an upgrade. thanks, ive gone for the valvoline synthetic a little expensive but will hopefully be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
