Hi,

I currently have a noisy power steering pump, it is whining and almost grinding on heavy turns. Before I replace the pump I want to try and flush the fluid. The only problem is I can't find the exact fluid spec. I don't know if I'm just being blind but I can't find it in the rave or on google, and I don't have a manual. I have heard rumours that it is the same as gearbox but I want to be absolutely sure.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards, Luke.

I had a look at the Penrite oil site and it gives the following for the TD6

Also try site sponsor Opie Oils. They have a very good "oil finder" app on their site. .

Thanks for the quick reply guys.

Does anyone know how much the system takes (or how much to flush it)

Lastly, has anyone had a similar issue?

Kind regards, Luke

had it about 4 years ago. just went to the dealer and asked for power steering flued. refilled it _ the fill cap has a measure stick built in- and never had any problems after
