Frequently asked questions about Volkswagen power steering fluid change & replacements
Read our answers to questions about power steering fluid change costs, symptoms and more.
What does a power steering fluid change on my Volkswagen 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 Volkswagen 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 on my Volkswagen?
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. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
How often should I replace the power steering fluid in my Volkswagen?
The power assisted steering (PAS) fluid should be replaced every 5-7 years. Like all hydraulic fluid, power assisted steering fluid absorbs moisture over time and becomes less effective.
How much does a power steering fluid change on Volkswagen cost?
A power steering fluid change generally costs between £75 and £90 with an average price of £80. Ultimately, the cost of replacing power assisted steering (PAS) fluid depends on your car and what parts your car's manufacturer recommends using for the replacement. Find out what you could save by having your power assisted steering (PAS) fluid replaced by ClickMechanic by selecting your car at the top of this page!
