Bleeding the power steering system (Renault Logan 1)

Pumping (air removal) hydraulic power steering system is required after any work involving depressurization of the system (replacement of pump or pipelines). A sign of air in the system is the steering wheel jamming when you try to turn it sharply. In addition, when you turn the steering wheel, the pump makes increased noise, and the liquid in the tank usually foams.

1. Fill the power steering system with working fluid (see "Checking the level and adding working fluid to the power steering reservoir") to the "MAX" mark.

2. Turn the steering wheel all the way first in one direction, then in the other.

3. Start the engine.

4. Turn the steering wheel all the way to one side.

Caution! Do not hold the steering wheel in the extreme position for more than 10 seconds.

5. Turn the steering wheel all the way in the opposite direction.

6. Turn the steering wheel to the center position and stop the engine.

7. Check the level of working fluid in the power steering reservoir and top up if necessary.

Note: The level of the working fluid in the tank when the engine is warm should not be above the "MAX" mark, and when the engine is cold - not below the "MIN" mark.

8. Repeat steps 4–7 until the oil level in the tank stops dropping.
