I just did this. Thank you for this incredibly well put together video. I plan on using all your videos for reference. I really appreciate the time you took for these
This video is top drawer, thank you. Possibly the cleanest, most thorough car video I have seen. Thanks again. No way will a shop do such a great job. Real love and care for detail.
2015.5 XC60. Two little changes{ 1) like another guy, i just stuck the discharge hose into the adapter with a little tape and a rag for insurance, and 2), i also used about 3 ft of 3/8" hose on the return line connector and clamp it off (instead of the aluminum tape you used to plug it). At the end, let it hang down and drain the reservoir- no mess, no fuss. then, put your adapter back on and fill it up. Used less than two liters. Great video!! I am subscribing.
Completely sad to see that you have 44 thumbs down because this video is AMAZING!! Thank you again for the the thorough walk through for this electronic power steering flush. This is truly a fluid exchange without any left over residue. Thank you again and will be enjoying more of your videos.
I hope I'll get by with two bottles, great vid. On my 2014 V70 the lines are routed a bit differently but the turn and return lines are the same on the reservoar. Kind of surprising the bottle doesnt have a filter element like most german ZF systems have. Especially when this isnt part of a regular service. Thank you for your time to make this for all of us Volvo guys :)
Thanks so much for this video. You are the only one of these CZcams videos to show how to release the clip on the return line. I would have probably broken it getting it off without this video. Anyway I was able to replace the reservoir and flush the system ( no more whining water pump) on my 2008 S80. This is the quietest it’s been since I bought the car 7 months ago!
good video. I did same procedure on my 07 xc90. The feed line was difficult to remove so I left it on and simply cleaned out the inside of the reservoir with a clean rag using a screw driver to move it around. I wouldn't recommend brake cleaner as used here unless can indicates safe for plastic. I liter of Pentosin CHF 202 did the job.
I followed your method with my 2007 S80 and it worked great. My pump had began to make a little noise and the fluid was brown. I especially liked that I was able to clean the reservoir and the filter with your instructions. The noise is now gone. I used Pentosin CHF202 fluid that I ordered from an eBay seller which is an equivalent. Thanks.
I went into this repair with a whining pump and now it is quiet with a very faint whine if u listen closely. The trick is to bleed the system extensively as shown in other bleeding CZcams vids. Thx for your work volvosweden.
Great video. I recommend making triple sure that the hose that you’ve connected to the return line is very very secure. Because if it’s not, when you start your car, you will have a power steering fluid volcano. Just sayin.
Thank you. I flushed my 2008 V70 2.0 F power steering system as described here. I found that Ford power steering liquid is up to Volvo spec. and is cheaper.
Great video. Thanks. I leave my contribution. I just did this job in a V60, using Ford 1781003 steering mineral fluid, witch has the recomended specification. Much cheaper and easy to get. I didn't remove the return hose from the 90° quicke adapter. Instead I used a 10mm hard tube and engaged it on the adapter like the reservoir fits in it. The incorporated filter had in fact allot of debris!
How many liters get into the system in your case? I found that Febi 46161 is also a good replacement. It is cheaper than Ford 17811003 (all those fluids meet required WSS-M2C204-A2).
Super thnx to all your videos! You've helped me learn more about my car! Big effort, great job done with all the filming. I would like to learn how to flush the coolant system. Is that a future project and video? Greetings from Sweden, Stockholm and Benjamin
Hi Yuri Another detailed video mate. Well done! We are trying to fix our S40 power steering and now have the steps. I have an idea for a video for you regarding fixing ageing plastic parts and will send you
just flushed in my S80 2.5T 08'. my mistake after the flush: didn't arrange the hoses back the way they were in the beginning so I couldn't get the reservoir in place and I had to unplug the feeding line to get in place. didn't extract the fluid in the reservoir with turkey baster, tired to hold it with the finger, all of the new fluid in the reservoir spilled and made a mass. other than that it was successful, thanks for the video.
Thank you for great video lesson. I think I will take it to the service station Volvo= or I will try myself- I can pump out the fluid and to add new, please, but to flush and to steer.. ohlala!
Tnx! I manage to clean the hole system with only 2 bottles, ive also got some left in the second. I also had to clean the filter with a toothbrush because the black dirt was stuck even with the brake cleaner.
good method. For those who need the quick and dirty method; I just did it by attaching a length of 1/4" vinyl tubing to a thick plastic bottle (32 oz.) cap. (drill 1/8" hole in cap, soften with a match flame and push the tubing through, use tape if needed) Now when you squeeze the bottle you can hear it pushing and drawing air from the end of tube. stick end of tube in reservoir, hold bottle lower than reservoir, squeeze to start siphoning. refill. cap. start car and turn the wheel all the way left, right, etc. Repeat until you can see through the fluid easily. Then, of course, leave it full and drive it. Wash your hands before you start touching things and piss off your wife.
Hi, thank you for the video. My V70 2009 makes whining noise when I steer the wheel. Mostly when the car isn't warmed up yet. Will the change of power steering wheel oil and reservoir fix the problem?
Great video. How many litres of fluid did you end up using? Judging by the old fluid in the gallon jug, it looks like just about 2 litres. Also, why does the back wheels to be jacked up? Shouldn't the front ones being elevated enough to do the job?
a little messier than I thought but done. took about 5 cycles to totally flush out the old PS fluid which was almost motor oil black. for the 08 models the PS reservoir isn't as easily accessible as video.....08 at least mine was in between air filter housing and engine block.....definitely get a good set of pliers to remove the spring clamp on pressure line. New fluid in no leaks and seems to run a lot better.
Great vid as always! hI ave looked at all of your Volvo vids and done the inside handle lights on my own 2011 XC70. Considering doing the brake flush in the winter so looking forward to that vid! BTW, how did you end up in Canada, i take it you are from Russia?
Back to the PS flush video...I noticed in your videos the reservoir is on the left side...passengers side looking towards front of vehicle. my 2008 has the reservoir on the driver's side. I hope they didn't change the plumbing as in pressure and return lines.
Привет. Очень полезное видео. Не представляешь как твои записи помогают и упрощают ТО по машине. У меня s80. И только у тебя во всей сети все описано четко! Что за очиститель фильтра в расширительном бачке? И сколько в итоге ушло жидкости ГУР.

You're a maestro whom is very generous to share your knowledge and time with us-the Volvo owners. Thank you and Thank you!
This man is so good that he doesn't even own a funnel. Great videos! Thanks 👍
Sir... you just don't miss a single detail... great job.. Thank you so much.
It's probably the best and clean explanation of changing power steering fluid! Thanks!
Thank you sir. Changed for my xc60 with much ease. Your tutorials are amazing. God bless.
This video is top drawer, thank you. Possibly the cleanest, most thorough car video I have seen. Thanks again. No way will a shop do such a great job. Real love and care for detail.
Impressive work. Really clean, methodic, thorough. I wish mechanics could dedicate this time and effort to my car.
Thanks just used your video to help with my 2008 xc70,,, love your videos... thank you.
Once more of your perfect Volvo Videos! Thanks!
Good to see you got the junk out of that reservoir. Great vid.

Great video, just did it today. Didn't flush out much air until we actually turned it on, and then about 1/4 drained and it stayed level after.
Спасибо! Так держать!👍

@@olew1983 I fluxed it untill new clean was comming out. More than 1L, less than 2L. So I suggest you buy 2L.
@@CRBN74 Thanks. I bought 2 liters. For complete flush I used something around 1.5 liters.

rofesional video thanks
muy buen video buena la información no cambie piezas ante de realizar una limpieza
Great video.Thx..

Really enjoyed the videos. Actually I enjoy all of your videos. (Thank you, gracias, grazie)
Tnx! I manage to clean the hole system with only 2 bottles, ive also got some left in the second.
I also had to clean the filter with a toothbrush because the black dirt was stuck even with the brake cleaner.
Нечего добавить...
У себя менял аналогично, только не заводил мотор, поэтому обошелся 2 литрами жидкости, а так респект!
+Vancom21 Я старался. Спасибо вам.
I got the rear shock set....took a bit with getting the driver's side shock out of the lower housing but I got it.
I found the CHF202 at my local AutoZone a bit pricy but locally available....this will be my next project after the struts and spark plugs.
Excelent !
good method. For those who need the quick and dirty method; I just did it by attaching a length of 1/4" vinyl tubing to a thick plastic bottle (32 oz.) cap. (drill 1/8" hole in cap, soften with a match flame and push the tubing through, use tape if needed)

Hi love your accent can you tell me if I need to change whole tension wheel or just pulley if pulley bearings are bad
front struts took a little longer than I thought yesterday but done and will attempt P.S flush this week.
Great video! Do you think the old oil were originally brown or has it become brown by age?
Thanks
Привет. Очень полезное видео. Не представляешь как твои записи помогают и упрощают ТО по машине. У меня s80. И только у тебя во всей сети все описано четко! Что за очиститель фильтра в расширительном бачке? И сколько в итоге ушло жидкости ГУР.
Can you start the car when moving the wheel or will that damage the power steering?
Great video, but where you lift the car? It's not the standard Volvo lift point
Не подскажите, чем промывали бачок? И чем промывать точно нельзя?
What are the jack points for this P3's Volvos?
Great!
Is it safe to use brake cleaner in the reservoir?
