Overview - Power Steering Pump

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Volkswagen Touareg, 2016 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2015 Volkswagen Touareg. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Power steering pump is not designed to be serviced. If there are customer complaints, the cause must be determined using a pressure and leak test. If there is a malfunction, replace the power steering pump.

NOTE:

Always replace seals.

Do not reuse fluid you have drained.

If power steering fluid is low in the reservoir, check the steering system for leaks.

If there are leaks in the area of the line connections, the lines/connections must first be inspected for leaks, tightened as necessary and wiped dry.

Replacement power steering pumps from the distribution center do not contain any fluid. Before installing, fill pump with Hydraulic Fluid: G 004 000 M2 and turn pump by hand. Otherwise, the power steering pump may be noisy when operating or may even be damaged.

Fluid type: Hydraulic Fluid: G 004 000 M2
