Great video. Just done mine with this method. But on my car, for some reason, you have to actually start the car. And boy does it come out quick. Too quick to be able to top it up at the same speed. So had to clear the air after. The stuff that came out was brown and sludgy. Now it's a nice bright red.
Have you considered the PAS relocation? I think common theory/knowledge is the hydraulic fluid boiled/baked as its a small volume sat ontop of the engine, was thinking about doing this myself, but interested in your thoughts. I kinda assumed its was typically DOT 4/ 5.1 brake / hydraulic fluid, so I was going see if I can get a higher temperature resistant fluid, but I see its transmission fluid. Did you paint your PAS tank? looks really neat *edit just realised it’s a paintmodz cover , still neat
Yeh considered it but it's a cost I don't really need to pay at the mo. Just doing this fluid change has actually made a difference, I did a small test and the steering feels better than it did before. It's something I may do once a year. Or if like this year's it's barely been driven at all then may only need to do once every few years. Ha yeh the gloss black Paintmodz stuff is so nice
not done anythng with it yet. I assume a recycling place might do it as taken old oil and car batteries there before. But i will hand it to my bro inlawy who is mechanic as taking my car for MOT and oil change this weekend
@@DriveWithAndy Ah cool thanks Andy, when I had an apprenticeship at a garage we had these big oil drums for all the waste fluids and oil drenched rags. I would like to do all my own servicing but got no idea where to put all the waste stuff haha, but yeah recycling place sounds good.
Can't say for certain but for all I know it's never been done. But with mine not being totally black I'd say it's had a change in its life. But for the cost and ease to do it's something worth doing. Nice knowing it's done
@@DriveWithAndy Well, I asked my mechanic today after he repaired my car if he had some power steering fluid but no. Then he without me being fast enough to stop him, put Automatic transmission fluid in there. He said "it's ok" but when I then read about it it says you should only do that with some cars and when in a pinchwhen you don't have anything else. Apparently it will tear and wear out the power steering pump's and other valve seals(?) so it will leak more later!?? 🤷
Oh Cool, yeh id love a nice shinny black silicone hose. Also the two pipes below the air intake, the Cooland Hoses. Feel free to message me on Instagram @drive_with_andy

I have seen another tutorial and it was nowhere near as easy and hassle free.
Thank you for showing this method!
The old power steering fluid actually looks like Vimto. 😂
Honestly it really did haha and the bottle choice was hilarious 🤣

Yeh if you turn the engine on it will come out fast. So did it not come out when just turning ignition key once and turning the wheel left to right?
Thank you, great video

How did you dispose of the old fluid? I don't really wanna chuck it down the drain lol

Nice bottle!
@@MrMitko-hc2sb 🤣
Does the car need to be lifted?
@@zoeknowsbest8125 the idea is due to moving the wheels full lock left to right that would damage the tyres rather than letting them move freely
How many years and miles/km the old steering fluid had?

@@DriveWithAndy Ok, thanks. Sure, it worth it. I will do it in a few days, in a 2005 Ford Fiesta JH1 1.25 Duratec (75Cv) with 126 000 km.
@@DriveWithAndy But you used ATF = Automatic Transmission Fluid, in the power steering instead of power steering fluid!!! 😬😬🤔
@@malarsson yeh not sure why but seems to be the stuff that's used and I've had no issues

can you use dexron II ? i have some in the garage
Hi, sorry can't say as only ever used the one in this video
Take the sticker off that pipe 😁 having that stock OEM vibe.. vitmo
Yeh i need to take it off. I actually want a nice shiny black silicone hose, not sure where to get one
@@DriveWithAndy I can source one for you
Oh Cool, yeh id love a nice shinny black silicone hose. Also the two pipes below the air intake, the Cooland Hoses. Feel free to message me on Instagram @drive_with_andy
Have you got any tickets from the dvla about no mot yet? Or did you get away with it
Hoping I am ok, fingers crossed. But has only been 3/4 working days
@@DriveWithAndy 14days not working.. but that's speed and not semi naughty MOT
Don't leave that bottle lying around, you might end up with an awful drink one day lol.
Haha I know I didn't intentionally choose that bottle when I did it but as I was editing the video I thought it's an appropriate one haha
I have spare bottle of motul and sparks plugs.. just tell me what u need.. stop buying stuff!! 😁😂
What spark plugs you got? I'm gonna look to get the, is it, NGK Iridium plugs
Automatic transmission oil as power steering fluid. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
It's the same fluid
Put that vimto back in the cupboard! no one will know aha
Hahaha could not of chosen a better bottle, not even intentional
