Understanding power-steering
Most cars have hydraulic power steering. These systems work very hard to make the steering light and smooth. However, they can develop faults; your steering may become heavy for the first 10 minutes of driving or you may experience a notchy feel at lower speeds.
The manufacturers of power-steering systems believe that the most common reason for these problems is contaminated fluid. Unfortunately, power-steering fluid is seldom changed when a car is serviced.
The solution
Wynn's service centres use 'Powerserve' which flushes out all the old powersteering fluid and replaces it with new high quality fluid which will keep your steering smooth and responsive whilst reducing the chance of faults.
When should I have my power-steering
fluid changed?
Wynns Service centres recommend changing
the power-steering fluid once every 3 years. This
will ensure the fluid stays clean and the steering
remains smooth.
Some manufacturers of
power-steering racks insist the fluid is changed
when a replacement rack is fitted. Warranty on
a new power-steering rack may be void if the fluid
is not changed. |
