Can you tell us how much fluid is required to do the job?

[@kdakc]

Hey Sue! Just wanted to tell you that you are a great instructor! You're my first choice when I'm looking for help fixing my Volvo!

[@solver2030]

One of the best tutorials for a car I’ve seen online. Made it easy to do on my Volvo s60r!!! Thanks!!!

[@erkiandresnuut]

Thank you, excellent video! Changing the fluid was a breeze with such clear instructions. My 4 y/o son was happy to help me to start and stop the engine while I was pouring the fluid. My car had the red ATF fluid in when I bought it (the P2 V70 needs GREEN fluid) and the pump started making noise already. Fortunately it's silent again after putting the right fluid. Thanks again!

[@jlh1827]

This was brilliant. My 05 V70 steering was horrible and jerky, this fixed it. One thing to note, the return pipe on mine attached at the bottom of the reservoir, so like a fool I disconnected it and the new liquid poured out as I refilled it. Solved this by just holding my thumb over the input connection as I flushed it…..

[@LouisMVE]

How much fluid did you use in the flush?

[@shamolshahran1570]

Best video on you tube for power steering fluid flush,, period.👍👍👍👍

You can also flush with out the belt hooked by spinning the pump by hand when the car is off if your on your own

[@JackobsnN]

What a great video! That's got to be the easiest way I've seen so far! Thanks.

[@misterjones7929]

Very easy to follow thankyou. My 2002 XC70 has red fluid so I'll follow your flush procedure and add the correct Volvo branded green fluid.

[@lev1g]

How much of new fluid have you actually used? Thank you.

[@bruceszymanski3665]

Great video. Just flushed my 04 xc70. I would just emphasize that you WILL need to cycle the steering wheel many times from stop to stop. There will be some air in the system even with a perfect pour into the reservoir as the car runs so even a few seconds.

[@johnveroutsos]

Excellent video!! Wow thank you so much! My Volvo 960 will love the new fluid it will get (Type F)

[@1AAuto]

+Jay Vee Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Easiest way is to use the rack as a pump and just turn the wheel lock to lock until the entire system is empty

[@zzoinks]

By empty, do you mean pump as much fluid out as possible before adding any new in? My thinking is pumping the fluid out until the pipes and rack are empty will leave behind some dirt, so instead I'm thinking of following the video but just using rack as a pump like you said. So while I'm getting the fluid out I'm adding the new fluid in so the reservoir never goes empty. And continue adding new fluid until it comes out clean. Because I think the flow of the old then new fluid will take out/stir up some of the sediment/contamination vs emptying the system entirely then refilling. And I suppose there will be less air in the system.

[@andrejplesko568]

Always the best tutorials for our Volvos, from you guys... thanks a lot!!

[@plavins1]

Hello. How should I go about flushing the power steering system since previous owner has put red atf fluid in power steering instead of the green stuff. Drain what I can as you showed and keep adding new fluid until it runs nice ang green?

[@groutbrook]

Thanks for the video. I have a 2004 V70 2.4 litre B5244S, what kind of power steering fluid should I buy? The manual says ATF but the stuff in the system now is greenish like yours, not red.

[@HankHill757]

Very informative, thanks!

[@jonnoble5]

Just did my xc90 using this method and worked well. Only thing is that I had to jack the front end up.

[@1AAuto]

+jonnoble5 Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@westnylefx]

Do 01-07 V70 use ATF? or only the older cars. I know my 00 c70 it wants ATF. i was almost gonna put in the CHF style fluid the newer volvos use

[@chriss4165]

Great video. Planning to try this soon on my 2008 v70 where the steering is heavy and the current fluid black! Any idea how much was used for this flush? Thanks

+Bob Van sand Thank you!

[@DontExistLT]

how much fluid does it take to fully flush the power steering system?

[@Philosopat]

I needed 2 qts. $60. Ouch!

[@amerikayollar9592]

Thanks for the video

[@vcastellinolive]

I drive a 2007 s60 what type of fluid does it use

[@laurabentley8911]

Synthetic fluid. The green kind. If you use red, you run the real risk of destroying the seals in the rack and a VERY expensive rebuild/replacement.

[@ยอดเสน่ห์ไชยสมคุณ]

Good 😊😊

[@soundshout]

I would like to see a video on this for the P1 V50 2005 2.4 engine.

[@1AAuto]

+soundshout We're always cycling through common repairs. We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@soundshout]

@@1AAuto Thanks. VIDA shows me there is a special "rinse tool 9997433" required ($400 from Volvo) and an "update kit 9997480" but i think you don't need these at all and can do it with other regular tools.

[@axcel7298]

What happens if the car is on and i do the lock to lock part?

[@ยอดเสน่ห์ไชยสมคุณ]

Ok good 👍👍👍☺️

[@jonathanvanscoy2036]

ahhhh don't start the car before you turn the wheel! Thank you!

[@colinj5291]

It's the only correct way to change out the fluid without an exchange machine. That turkey baster crap doesn't get close to all the fluid.

[@1AAuto]

+Colin D Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com

[@avenqer]

Just once I wish the thumbs down actually said something.... It's like "what do they know?" But it's probably more like "I was watching furryies, why did this flag up?"

[@mryeet49gaming60]

This is not a flush. All the old stuff is still in the rack.

[@MrCarGuy]

Does not apply to 2005-2007.

[@dayrock1948]

MrCarGuy20 really what’s different?

[@0x00zero]

Any reason?

[@danieljackson6504]

How so?

[@donmoore7785]

This is the exact same setup at my 2005 V70 2.5T - I don't know what you are referring to.

[@chrisnamaste3572]

Just did it on my P2 XC90. Smh....

[@mariankolano555]

Do i really need to unscrew the lower hose from the pump? Or just unscrew the return hose and rinse?
