rodgeevans Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I recently fitted one of the mark one wepon-r power steering ressies to my car with alot of swearing and brute force. I didnt know it was the older style when my other half bought it for me from the states as one of my birthday pressies, when fitting i drained the system and fitted brand new PAS fluid supplied my ZMANALEX, now there is no line on the ressie on the outside or inside of where to fill to so i put some in bled the system and topped up to just over half way. now though when driving at certain speeds and bends i get a vibration through the steering could this be caused by not having enough or to much fluid in the bottle. any help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Wheel is out of balance, more likely. Probably a weight fallen off. I assume a "ressie" is a reservoir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgeevans Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yeah sorry it does mean reservoir, i'll get my mate to check the balances then thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Definitely what I'd check first, probably just coincidence it's happened after your new mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 There will probably still be some air trapped in the system. With the lid off and engine running, turn the steering wheel lock to lock about a dozen times, keeping the fluid topped up. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgeevans Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 when i tried running it with the cap off last time it chucked fluid all over the engine so i bled it by running it turning the wheel shutting it off then opening cap wait for bubles to disapear then repeated a few times should i be able to have the cap off when the engine is running then.

As my last post, however it can get a bit messy if you have to much fluid in the reservoir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgeevans Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 well i did as suggested and the design of the wepon r tank means that the return just shot the fluid out the ressie until it was nearly empty and i couldn't turn the wheel for some reason so i had to make a little device to sit on top of the bottle which stopped the return spitting all the fluid straight out the top but still allowed the air to escape. So far, from the little driving i have done in it since, it seems to have sorted the problem but need to check on certain corners that i know it happened on to check properly but seems ok, thanks for the help guys.
