Frequently asked questions about power steering fluid change & replacements in Forres

Read our answers to questions about power steering fluid change costs, symptoms and more.

What does a power steering fluid change in Forres involve?

Changing power assisted steering (PAS) fluid is a routine repair for all mechanics and can be done both kerbside as well as in the workshop, providing it is safe to do so.
Whilst there are variations between manufacturers, the basics are pretty similar.

The mechanic will;

  • Check the condition of the fluid and proceed if deemed to require changing
  • Undo the system bleed valve and drain the existing fluid out
  • Depending on how tainted the fluid was, either refill it and bleed it or flush it through before refilling it and bleeding it.
  • Test the vehicle’s steering once again

What are the symptoms of bad power steering fluid (PAS)?

There are some obvious signs to the driver that something is amiss with the fluid as follows

  • The steering wheel is heavier to turn than normal.
  • When there is a squeaking or grinding noise from the unit when turning the wheel.

In addition to this, the fluid can be checked physically by removing the fluid reservoir cap (it usually has a picture of a steering wheel on it). If the fluid is clear, or bright in colour (usually green or red) then it's likely to be OK, If it is brown to black, then it has likely been contaminated.

How long will a power steering fluid (PAS) change take in Forres?

A power steering fluid (PAS) change usually takes around 1 hour, but can take less or more time. Ultimately, the time that the job will take will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors.
