What is the Power Steering Fluid Reservoir all about?

The power steering system enables you to turn the steering wheel easily. When the car is not running, it is extremely hard to turn the steering wheel and the tires. When the car is running, it is the power steering system that helps you turn the steering wheel so easily.

The power steering system includes: power steering pump, fluid, belt, hoses and steering gear (rack and pinion). The steering gear connects the steering wheel to the stub axles. When you turn the steering wheel, the power steering pump sends fluid to the steering gear that applies the pressure needed to turn the tires.

If the power steering reservoir is low, the steering will become harder to manipulate. You may see fluid (power steering fluid) underneath your car.

Keep in mind:

You may have more than one vehicle component leaking Your Mechanic will perform an inspection and advise you of the findings. The mechanic will recommend replacing any visibly leaking parts and may also recommend that the engine be steam cleaned to better see any other leakage problems.

How it's done:

Check for power steering fluid leak.
Replace the reservoir if it is leaking.
Inspect for leaks again.

Our recommendation:

If you see fluid on the driveway, have a mechanic inspect for leaks as soon as possible. If you continue to drive the car with low power steering fluid, it can damage the pump.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Power Steering Fluid Reservoir?

Turning the steering wheel is difficult.
Power steering fluid is leaking.
Groaning-like noise when you turn the steering wheel.

How important is this service?

Your power steering system helps you turn the wheels of your car easily and efficiently. The system relies on pressure form steering fluid to help turn the wheels, and this fluid is kept in the steering fluid reservoir. When you turn your steering wheel, the power steering pump pulls fluid from the reservoir, and sends it to the rack and pinion steering gear, where the pressure from the fluid is used to help the wheels turn. Without this fluid, your steering is not power-assisted.

When the power steering fluid reservoir breaks, the system cannot hold the power steering fluid. When this happens, little or no fluid is sent to the wheels, negating the power steering system, and making it much harder and more dangerous for you to turn your wheels.

Audi A3 L4-2.0L Turbo - Oil Change - Manassas, Virginia

Will was great, very professional and open with communication. He did not arrive on time however but it was out of his control. The customer before us held him up on a fault of his own and did not have the necessary part that Will needed to work on his car. So in turn it caused Will to be 2 hours late. We ended up being very hard pressed for time and my wife was not able to have him to the tire rotation. For the future it would be in the better interest of your clients if there is a set clause or statement when booking appointments that says "if you are not prepared when the mechanic arrives, your mechanic will pass on to the next customer and you will have to reschedule accordingly".

Audi A3 L4-2.0L Turbo - Oil Change - Crockett, California

Rafael's work was right on. Changed the oil & filter and told me of some issues I was unaware of. Clean. took an hour. Only disappointment: He was delayed on a previous job and was an hour plus late. Somehow YourMechanic through their tracking system, or perhaps Rafael could have let them know. I had to call and find out that the previous appointment was running late and he was delayed. It wasn't an issue this time, and I had no plans until the end of the day, I would have appreciated knowing and understood about repair delays. I have worked on cars for a most of my life.
