There is no provision for repairing the power steering pump. If problems are reported, trace the fault by means of a pressure test and a leakage test. Renew the power steering pump if there is a fault.
Note
Always check steering system for leaks if fluid level is low in reservoir.
If leakage is visible at the pipe connections first tighten connections and wipe dry, then check for leaks again.
The power steering pump is supplied without fluid filling. Prior to installation, the pump must therefore always be filled with
hydraulic fluid
and turned by hand. Otherwise, there is a possibility of pump damage or noise while driving.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
