2. Disconnect the high voltage wire from the ignition coil (engine 1.3 l) or connector from the ignition coil (engine 1.8 l). On a 1.3L engine, do not place the disconnected high voltage wire near the fuel rail.
3. Periodically turn on the starter for 15-20 seconds and at the same time turn the steering wheel 5-6 times from lock to lock.
Warnings
- (1) During the pumping process, constantly add fluid so that its level in the reservoir is between the MIN and MAX marks. When removing air, constantly check the fluid level and top up if necessary.
- (2) If bleeding is done when the engine is not rotating, the air will be re-dissolved in the fluid. Be sure to bleed while cranking the engine.
4. Connect the high voltage wire to the ignition coil (engine 1.3 l) or ignition coil connector (engine 1.8 l), start the engine and let it run at idle speed
5. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times. Check that the fluid is not foaming and the level has not dropped.
Note. To prevent damage, do not hold the steering wheel fully turned for more than 10 seconds.
6. Check that the fluid is not milky and the level is between the marks «MIN» And «MAX» on the tank.
7. Check that there is a slight change in fluid level when turning the steering wheel to the left and right.
8. Make sure that the difference between the levels of the working fluid in the tank with the engine running and not running is within 5 mm (see fig. 16.7).
9. If the level difference is more than 5 mm, then the air is not completely removed from the hydraulic system, so the operation of bleeding should be repeated.
Warnings!
- (1) If the fluid level rises suddenly after stopping the engine, there is still air in the system.
- (2) If there is air in the power steering hydraulic drive, abnormal noise will be heard when the pump is running. Air in the system will shorten the life of the pump and other parts.
