Power Steering Bleed and Flush - MK6 - MK7 Ford Transit

In this video I bleed and flush the power steering system on a 2006 MK6 Ford Transit. This is a very easy DIY job with only a few tools needed.

When the drain hose is in the bottle, you can turn the steering lock to lock to drain the system WITHOUT the engine running. You can still flush the system by using the steering wheel rather than starting the engine and risk running the pump dry if you dont have assistance. To fill up you replace all hoses, fill the reservoir then steer from lock to lock, again without the engine running. This will pull through the fluid without running the engine. Once it has pulled enough oil through you can start the engine and bleed the system as you show in the video. 👍

Those one use power steering union connections can be a nightmare to remove, your very lucky it came of on its own , can easily damage the pipe cutting it of , new pipes expensive. Great comprehensive video .

Watt blue on your transit did the pipe come out the top of the power steering pump

Yeah it was the high pressure line coming from the power steering pump that blew. Was a super cheap fix just time consuming :)
