Power Steering System — air bleed (Peugeot Partner I)

1. This procedure is only required after any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected.

2. Remove the filler cap of the booster reservoir and add the prescribed fluid up to the MAX mark on the wall of the reservoir (early models) or to the Cold mark on the dipstick built into the filler cap (later models).

3. With the engine off, slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock approximately 10 times to remove accumulated air, and then add fluid in such an amount that the level again reaches the MAX mark on the wall of the reservoir or the Cold mark on the dipstick built into the filler cap (whichever is applicable). Repeat this procedure until the fluid level in the reservoir stops dropping.

4. Start the engine and let it idle for two to three minutes without moving the steering wheel during this period. Turn off the engine and, if necessary, add fluid again up to the MAX mark on the tank wall or the Cold mark on the dipstick.

5. Start the engine and slowly turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times to remove any remaining air from the system. Repeat this procedure until no more air bubbles appear in the booster reservoir.

6. After removing all traces of air from the power steering hydraulic system, turn off the engine and allow the system to cool. After cooling, make sure that the fluid level corresponds to the MAX mark on the tank wall or the Cold mark on the dipstick, and add fluid if necessary.
