How to replace the power steering fluid in a Ford Fiesta?

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK 5, MK V - Years 2002-2008
Part: Power steering fluid

To replace the power steering fluid in a Ford Fiesta, lift the car to access the components underneath. Near the front right wheel, you will find the power steering fluid return hose, connected by a yellow clip: by releasing this clip, the old fluid can drain into a suitably placed container under the car. At this point, reconnect the hose and access the top of the engine bay, where you can add the new fluid through the designated filler.
