cheers mate. nice one. do u no if i change it. will it stop the squeeking noise it makes now??

Cheers

What squeeking noises ? does it sound like a 70 year old smoker with lung cancer ?? just replace the fluid for that slick 40 and bleed the air out of it !! Dont change it until youve tried this coz its a lot of work !! Talkin a good 6+ hours !! and thats without seized bolts and little problems !! Get a tank syphoner or similar to suck the fluid out and replace it with slick 40 !! look in the haynes for PAS fluid renewal !!

yer i tried to beeld the system and it still does it. Turned it lock to lock about 50 times. i replaces the fluid but didnt drain the whole system and that helped but now its back! Its a really bad noise and its really hard to turn the wheel. scares the sh*t out of people in underground carparks coz its even louder! How can i empty the whole system?

 

[cliosportcraig]

you can empty the system by getting to the pump the way i did and removing the fluid supply hose, this is the solid metal hose !! replace then refill with slick 40 or similar !!
