brandysnaps117 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 hey guys. on my series 2 25det which has a 20detpump on it, lastnight my mate poured brake fluid dot4 into my powersteering resevoir, he put in about half a glass or so in there..?i was pretty sure that wasnt okay and has been told today that its definitely a no go? i disconnected the hoses from the p.s reservoir today and drained the reservoir. how do i flush out the rest of the powersteering system? hoses/pump etc.. i dont have any p.s fluid or anything and also we havent started the car while the dot4 fluid has been in either, will my pump still be okay? but yes please help obviously im not no mechanic so bare with me, thanks alot.p.s i wasnt sure where to post this thread.

Ben C34 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I would slap mate and then use a syringe (big one) to sick reservoir dry. Seeing as you didn't start it it wouldn't have gone far, but to be sure I would disconnect lines off the rack and pour fluid into reservoir flushing the lines. Then I would slap mate again Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/443109-flushing-powersteering-brake-fluid/#findComment-7282540 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiRS4T Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Use ATF it works fine (quality synthetic preferably). Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/443109-flushing-powersteering-brake-fluid/#findComment-7283405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
