Can anyone tell me the best way to change the Power steering fluid? It looks a funny colour and smells a bit funny to so I’d like to replace it but there’s no mention of a proper way to do this in my manual.

There is no drain or any way of getting all the fluid out with stripping everything. The way i do it is remove the return pipe to the resivoir, block the hole in res, get a container to catch old fluid from pipe, start engine, get someone to work the steering side to side whilst i keep pouring new fluid in the resivoir untill a couple of litres has gone through and then reconnect hose and job done.

It sounds messy but its not if your quick enough.

do you know how much fluid i'll need?

4 litres should be plenty

When I changed the engine I only had to top up with 1l - cheers for the advice as above....
