Hi, thank you for your reply. Yes my car has power steering but it takes effort to spin the wheel. That is why I want to flush the power steering wheel. But I have no idea what kind of power steering oil I need, do you have any experience with this please?

If it has a fluid power steering system & isn't electric power steering as already suggested it'll either use ATF or CHF11S. It'll actually tell you on the fluid reservoir / reservoir cap but that's something you'll need to find and look at on the assumption is has fluid power steering..

Hi, just had a look. Yeah you're right it says chf 11s only. I found pentosin chf 11s on ebay. That should work right?

Pentosin CHF11S is what we use at BMW anyway, should be in a green metal tin if I remember correctly. But that's the stuff you need pal 👍

check your power steering hoses for dampness,especially around the metal connectors,,,also turn car on,,take steering from lock to lock a few times,,check reervoir to see if their are any bubbles,,they will look pretty a tight bunch of small air bubbles,,this will mean you have a leak somewhere

Can I do this with the power steering reservoir cap opened with the car running?
