2006 Chevrolet Aveo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir on 2006 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: The replacement process for the power steering reservoir begins with draining the fluid through the reservoir. The immediate plugging of hoses after extraction serves to avoid contaminations that may result in steering component deterioration and reduction of steering functionality. Remove both hoses by loosening their clamps before taking out the reservoir attaching bolts. This process allows reservoir extraction. To install the reservoir you should attach it with power steering reservoir attaching bolts at 7 Nm torque (62 inch lbs. torque). Secure both hose clamps by connecting their ends. The GM Spec. No. 9985010 or an equivalent fluid will work for adding fluid to the power steering system and GM Dealerships also offer cold climate fluid options. The usage of incorrect power steering fluid leads to problems that include hose damage and sealing issues and fluid leakage together with a failure of the pump. Use correct power steering fluid to fill the reservoir while examining the system for leakage. Address the source of leaks until system bleeding can be performed.
