Oh ok thanks how I go about flushing it out

Because the fluid look a bit dirty

 

Did you read the thread?

 

Did you ever have the recall done? They do this for free if not.

 

all of this is in the garage .. how many miles? just rebuild the ps pump .. its really cheap and its pretty easy. really good diy in the garage for this.

 

I'm getting the recall done now but I ask the parts guy if the will change the oil he said no because I'm not getting a flush I'm just getting the line change and the service lady don't know

 

Do you guys think they will change it since they doing the line

 

3 bottles of ps fluid are included in the recall, why wouldnt they use them?

 

Because they may want to save the money and time by not doing the flush and not changing the low-pressure inlet orange O-ring that comes with the recall kit.

 

No they didn't even do a flush or change the oring I have to do that myself smh.but I buy 2 bottles if powerstreering fluid and the oring to do it myself

 

2 bottles should be ok right

 

i used 2 1/2 when i did mine.

 

Damn I only have 2 bottles can I use that Or I have to buy another bottle

 

if i used 2.5 when i did my flush, and you have 2 right now. Math would tell me you would need another bottle to make up .5 you are short.

 

Kool

 

What is the recall about please? I have a groaning steering wheel after driving for a while. Don't know what to do.

 

Pretty much all the TL's had a power steering recall. If you call a dealer with your VIN they can tell you if it needs to be done.

 

I'm so sorry, the search I did was for RDXs and didn't mean to intrude. Iwonder if the RDXs follow suit with the steering issue? What were your symptoms?

 

No symptoms....the PS hose was tooo close to the rear head/cat and hence prone to cracking and PS pump failure....when you take it in, they are supposed to

1> remove the hose
2> replace with high temp hose
3> insulate it
4> switch o-rings
5> flush your PS system....

but they do not do any of that....all the do is insulate the existing hose....

If I were you, I would just perform this:

and a flush

 

Thanks! I need to go to a regular mechanic and tell him what to do. I'm a useless DIYer and cause more problems than help. E.g., I dropped the Steering Fluid cap and it seems lost forever. Any suggestion for getting new cap?

 

Thanks, but I won't call my dealer with anything. They really screwed me over a few years ago, and I don't trust them at all. I'll need to do my own research. And thanks for helping.

 

^^^ got a coke/pepsi 500ml plastic bottle at home? use the cap

I did the same when I started working on the car and lost the cap forever....put a coke cap on it, took it to the dealer and got a new cap

 

That's a hoot! But, this was a resevoir near the windshield and near the steering. I had taken it off to see if it was, in fact, the steering resevoir and was trying to read it and . . . whoops. It's about 2 inches in diameter.! Glad to have company losing this.

 

Power steering hose...git er dun.

 

Is this for your RDX? There is a TSB for some RDX's for leaking power steering hoses. Can't recall what warranty implications there were or if ther was an extension for time/mileage. I will dig it up Thursday, bu you can see I your deler will help.
