Before repairing, you need to do a little preventive work:
1. Open the power steering reservoir cover.
2. We drop the hose from the power steering itself (under the air conditioner compressor).
3. Drain until it is drained (about 5 min.)
Then we plug this hose with something, maybe even a rag - it doesn't matter.
4. Put a rag on the neck of the power steering reservoir so that your face does not get dirty and blow into the reservoir. It will be hard at first, then, as most of the liquid flows out, it will become easier.
5. We blow as much as we can, about 5-10 minutes, with interruptions.

It can be assumed that 99 percent of the liquid has been drained.

6. collect everything back.
7. Fill in new liquid to the level.
8. Steering wheel to the left, steering wheel to the right 3-4 times, add fluid if necessary to the level.

If, nevertheless, the problems remain, then you should drive to the service.

1.After buying a car, urgently change the oil in the power steering.

2. In this place, the power steering tube is usually frayed, solving the problem, turn the clamp so that its horns do not rub along the tube.

I noticed that the steering wheel on my amulet is very light, regardless of the speed of the car, is it interesting for everyone or only for me? As I understand it, we have a hydraulic booster with pressure control according to the number of engine revolutions - it should reduce the pressure with increasing engine speed, but why then does the steering wheel not get heavy with increasing speed? I apologize if this has already been said!

well, the information content of the steering wheel, to be honest, leaves much to be desired Image - DIY repair of the power steering Chery amulet
