Changing the Power Steering Fluid

Model: Audi A4 B6 - Years 2000-2004
Part: Power steering fluid

It may be necessary, and it is good practice, to replace the power steering fluid. It may happen that the wrong fluid has been used, unsuitable for that type of gears or operating temperatures, or that the fluid is simply exhausted. To replace the fluid, extract the existing fluid from the reservoir using an oil suction pump. To completely empty the reservoir and the circuit, it is necessary to run the gears, so continue extraction with the engine running. Once the reservoir is completely empty, pour in the new fluid to the correct level and start the vehicle. After checking the level again, the operation is complete.

How to Open the Bonnet of the Ford Transit Custom

On many Ford vehicles, opening the bonnet is not done using the traditional lever located in the cabin, at the bottom left on the driver's side. Instead, you must use the ignition key to unlock a lock positioned at the front of the vehicle, usually beneath the manufacturer's badge. The reason for this choice is unclear, but it can pose a difficulty if the lock becomes jammed, risking damage to the key. You can try to disengage the lock by inserting a long screwdriver through the grille of the front panel. Once the first opening is achieved, spray some unlocking fluid on the lock to allow subsequent activation with the key.
