Tuscan Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I just took my car for an MOT as it's been layed up of the road, the MOT tester put the car on full lock and steering fluid gushed out under the car but it seemed to stop pretty quickly almost like a loose hose I drove it home gently 10 miles putting the car back in the garage and I got a notchy feeling only at the point of full lock. I've just checked my resevoir and its full of sludge can't understand why????. Anybody willing to educate me to what's happend. Is it a case of just flush it through and put fresh fluid in.

MattP Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Remove the reservoir and clean it out as best you can with either petrol or brake cleaner the internal mesh will clog up.. Oh and yes pump all the fluid out its probably ancient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Cheers mat the fluid was 6months old tops I had all fluids changed ready for getting it back on the road. I shall flush it through fingers crossed it will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 If there are no leaks I would flush definitely pump it all through and clean the reservoir out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
