Power Steering Fluid S60
Discussion
Hi All
My 02 S60 D5 has had a new clutch/flywheel recently and as part of the job the garage had to move the steering rack, hence draining the fluid.
I have just noticed it has been filled with the standard red stuff rather than the Volvo spec green (eg Pantasin CHF 11S).
I am having the rack drained/flushed and refilled with the proper stuff tomorrow.
My concern is that for about 3 months or so it has been running around with the wrong fluid and my understanding is that this can, over time, damage the seals in the rack.
Do you think I`ll be ok given that it`s not been in long?
No signs of a leak on the system as far as I can see other than the usual leaky reservoir cap (now replaced) and steering feels perfectly fine/smooth.
Any advice appreciated as I am a little worried!
Thanks.
