Suggestion

I have to check and see if the Airlift vacuum/fill system has an adapter that will fit the PS fill resevoir, though now that I htink of it, I would also have to seal the vent for the reservoir to make vacuum, too.

Suggestion

On most vacuum evac/fill systems, you apply vacuum to a sealed system (have to, or you'd never get a vacuum), then because there is no air left, you just switch the valve over to the fill container, and the vacuum now in the system sucks the fluid right in.

(2.11 pints) FWIW, moving the rack should not get out any more fluid if you used vacuum removal.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 2Original post

Nice write up and pics for future reference. Thanks. Now go put some miles on your new Porsche.

POST 4Original post

So a full liter should do the whole system? (2.11 pints) FWIW, moving the rack should not get out any more fluid if you used vacuum removal. I'm a little curious though, as to how you refilled it via vacuum. On most vacuum evac/fill systems, you apply vacuum to a sealed system (have to, or you'd never get a vacuum), then because there is no air left, you just switch the valve over to the fill container, and the vacuum now in the system sucks the fluid right in. There is no "clear" tube to see turn green...can you explain that a bit more?

POST 6Original post

OK, I see what you mean, now. Very clear, thanks. I have to check and see if the Airlift vacuum/fill system has an adapter that will fit the PS fill resevoir, though now that I htink of it, I would also have to seal the vent for the reservoir to make vacuum, too. It may be that the way you did it is the only way, then. Your way actually flushes out the old fluid with the new, like when you bleed brakes, except for the return line to the reservoir.

POST 8Original post

KrazyK - I have been looking for a guide to changing the PS fluid, but it looks like you deleted your post. Did you put these up somewhere else?

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think I put it up on Renntech.org but not sure. I will have to check or repost.

POST 10Original post

Searched there as well but couldnt find anything. If you could repost that would be much appreciated

POST 11Original post
