System Filling and Bleeding (Vacuum Fill)

If vacuum filling equipment is available, proceed as follows:

- Disconnect both the high pressure hose and return hose from the PAS pump and the return hose from the steering rack.

- Drain as much fluid as possible from the system by turning the steering from lock to lock two or three times.

- Reconnect all hoses.

- Fill the system using the vacuum equipment according to the manufacturers instructions.

- Start the engine and top up the fluid as necessary.

- Turn the steering from lock to lock two or three times with the engine running, topping up with fluid as necessary.

- If possible, run the engine for twenty minutes to expel any remaining air.
