I have tighter then normal power steering and a slight leak well as far as i can tell it might juist be oil i spilled last change can any body tell me how to do it . and also I have a blown ac compressor it seems to be hard to get its a dvk 14d deisel kiki, does any body know were i can get one or if there is a suitable compressor with the same lines

to bleed power steer mate all u have to do is fill the resivoir (spelling) with fluid and loosen off a hose shightly so it leaks a little then start the car and turn the wheel a LITTLE both ways a few times and turn the car off then tighten hose up etc....its good to have a rag to catch the oil as it sprays out too......this is how we do it at work ..... 90% of the time as soon as u drive the car even the first time it bleeds automaticly cause oil goes all through the system...... i may be wrong but this is what i have done ...... dunno if that helps.... ring a few importers and a/c placed about the compressor dude.....Jon

WHITE R32......Would you mind PMing me the name of your workshop......so I can ensure I never go there.

To my Knowledge to bleed the power steering you need to have the front wheels clear of the ground, fill the reservoir start the engine and whilst idleing turn the steering wheel slowly lock to lock until you get no bubbles of air in the reservoir, top up if needed and that's it.

Is wheels off the ground necessary? I've got a grinding pump and just doing up all hose connections before bleeding to make sure there is no leaks that are introducing air into the system...

Do you need to loosen any hoses when you are bleeding as suggested above?

just jack the car up so the front wheels are off the ground. (Makes it easier and doesnt leave marks in the driveway:))

You dont need to crack a hose, just fill the reservior up and leave open. Then turn the steering wheel full left to right watching for bubbles to come out. Keep going till bubbles stop..Keep topping fluid up as it goes down though.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
