This video saved me a lot of money. A new powersteering pump is about $1,000 and a used on about $500. Thanks a bunch.
Awesome to hear this video helped out. Feel free to check out oz mechanics merchandise to support the channel. Thanks again for watching
Here from 2024! This video still slapp!
You skipped how you take it off and apart. That's the most important and difficult part
Sorry to hear your concern. But at the beginning of the video I do explain that this was a quick tip to explain that you don’t need to replace the whole unit if it’s justa leak. Hope that helps
Doesn't help at all, they still need to remove the pump to replace the gaskets. Lol
It'd be good for your channel to make the video with more details though. @@OzMechanics
Thanks for your video as it helped be to do this job on my mom's 300. Two observations. Brake cleaner to decontaminate the area, and pull the reservoir off of the pump without removing pump went well. One O-ring was removed. Replacement reservoir came with 2 O-rings of two different sizes. Oh-oh. I only installed the one that was the same size. I hope that larger O-ring was not supposed to fit outside of the groove. So far, no leaking.
Mike Sutherland sweeet glad this video helped out bud
there is 2 o rings to this that need replacement, not 1
@@wooddee6079 only one of the o-rings were replaceable as I recall. The larger one from the kit did not go anywhere on the reservoir.
@@airmike1271 nah, this guy even shows the second o ring in the video without noticing it. Pause video at 2:31 you see the O ring there, the one he forgot to replace
@@airmike1271 czcams.com/video/yDBAndL2ECk/video.html in this video , this guy replaces both.
Thank you had this same problem and your video saved me a stupid amount of money 😬😬👍🏼👍🏼
NvMe Squirrel good to hear that
Thanks a million. I actually was able just to replace reservoir with unit installed. Only the one seal at reservoir was leaking. Thanks again.
Very informative and interesting,
On my Chrysler 2012, when I turned left at low speed, it becomes very difficult to turn. Only happens when I turn left.
I applicate your consultation if you experience such issue and how to fix it?
Thank you
Did you find out how to fix? Mines does the same
I have a 2012 dodge charger and I have the same issue. Was told I need to replace my power steering pump again for the 2nd time. I've only had the car for 4 years. I'm not about to spend another 2,400 for the repair. Dodge car has been given me a lot of issues.
Great video Oz. I did this yesterday to my Chargers EHPS. Found the part on Amazon for about $40 and some change. The part is available from other suppliers too. The price can vary a lot. Amazon was the least expensive. I used CHF 11s fluid. I had to ask for it at the parts store. It wasn’t on the retail shelf. Make sure the fluid you use is a type MS-11655 or equivalent. This is the OEM fluid recommended for the Dodge electro hydrologic power steer pump. Another types of accepted fluid is Fuchs EG ZH 3044. There are some aftermarket companies making fluids. One fluid I read about is Quantm Blue. The maker claims it is a superior product. I don’t have any info about it. I went with OEM fluid. Good luck to anyone trying this. Take your time and follow the video.
Rick Speck glad this video helped out. Yea when I found out how much the whole pump was I started doing my research seeing if there was an alternative. Hope you subscribe and hit the bell to get notifications on new videos coming out
Man I wish u was in Dallas Texas. No one in my area understand what I'm talking about
Very helpful video thx alot
Thanks for the video. I also saw the price of the new unit and was like, ummm NO! Not a fan of Dorman parts, but hopefully it holds together.
What area the specs of the rings?
Thank u for this nice video
How can i run this unit external
شكرا جزيلا على هذا التوضيح
هل باستطاعتي تشغيلها خارج السياره
My 08 charger has a reservoir in the engine bay to top up fluid . On my 2013 300 I can't find a place to top up the fluid
In my opinion they should be a manufacturer's recall..I'm dealing with the same issue no power steering in a 2013 Dodge Challenger.. these Chrysler products seem to be junk.. must be nice to throw together a vehicle and then let the aftermarket worry about replacing parts...I've seen this on numerous Chrysler products along with the oil cooler issue on the 3.2 and 3.6l engine...
They might have an extended warranty for it. Some manufacturers offer that
Any certain procedure to bleed the system?
Power stern fluid 2013 dodge charger
Thanks for the video bro I did it on a 2011 Dodge charger in the work
Was it the gasket?
Yes sr
Congratulations!!!!!..Good informations!!!!!
there is actually 2 o rings in this pump,
My power steering is hard to turn help I have a 2011 Dodge Charger
Thank you
Hey my steering has a squeak to it I believe it is out of fluid how do I fill the fluid up do I need to take the entire pump out like you had doen? I don’t want to screw it up
How long it take to fix???? Minds really tight
Hey, thank you for posting this very helpful!
I have question, my car has started to send "Lost Communication" codes and mostly all error icon appeared in the dashboard when I am driving suddenly the car stop accelerating with noticeable hesitation. the workshop dealer told me the problem from power steering cables! Honestly I strongly do not think it is the cause. What do you think brother?
thanks man 👍
4:02 fart ooh!! lol
i had to look back at it. i really cant tell you if i really farted but i did get a good laugh out of it
Question if mine is still leaking does that mean i switched the size orings into the wrong groves?!?
Whats the extra o-ring for i only used one? One was slightly bigger.
Hi, I have 2011 300, I cannot move the steering wheel even it’s running, do you think if I change this, it will be fine?
20 2013 Dodge charger power stern
Nice video and some great advice.Was the reservoir Dormans?
jimthecarguy jimthecarguy thanks and yes it is. The only weird thing is the box is labeled coolant reservoir. But the cap clearly says power steering. It was dumb luck I found this
great video i wish that you show the whole process
like how to remove it
thank you
I need help i own a 2011 dodge chsrger and my powe steering i s hard to drive my car i need help with plugs i need one thst go to the box
Hello, I have a Charger 2014 with same issue. I went to dealer and change the fluid, but there is still some sound coming when I turn the steering left😞 plz help...
Yeah I tried to change the reservoir on mine 2013 Challenger RT all I did was switch out the reservoir and add the new o-rings now I don't even have any steering it's all stiff I don't know what possibly could have went wrong
Did you ever find out what was wrong ?
Did you ever find out what was wrong?
@@michaelmartinez4366 yeah the whole power steering pump had went bad I bought another one from AutoZone for 700 bucks and that was the cheapest one I could find but it's all good I made sure it came with lifetime warranty so I want have to worry about that problem again
How much did u spend total my brother?
This was a long time ago. I forgot
My 2012 Charger ran out of fluid n it's be sitting in the garage for about 3 months now lol what kid of fluid did u use?
emigdio chavez it's ms-9602 that's from the dealer . But I bought a brand called CHF S11
emigdio chavez how did it run out and how did you know
How do you bleed the Power steering? I replaced the Reservoir because mine was broken and still its hard after filling it up with fluid
Armando Arvizu make sure that everything is connected and that you don't have any lines that are messed up
I am having power steering issues with my 2012 300C as well and it's only for 56000 miles on it. How did you determine that it was the o rings in the reservoir as opposed to it being the entire pump?
CRW Sr you’ll see leaks coming from the housing
@@OzMechanics Is there a way to test the pump itself?
what type of fluid did you put in there?
Toni Wegner it's ms-9602 that's from the dealer . But I bought a brand called CHF S11
What are the syptoms, i get a very high harmonic vibration in the steering wheel, too high for it to be a balance/wheel issue.
Power steering works and the vibration is vary intermittent, do these have speed variable steering?
PLEASE HELP. My 2012 Challenger RT leaked out the power steering fluid and I got a "service power steering" message. The vehicle was towed home. Now with the leak fixed and pump installed. The pump won't engage in order to bleed to system. I've checked fuses and all connection plugs. The error message is still displayed and can't be picked up and cleared with a regular OBD2 scanner. Do I need to have the dealer reprogram/flash the pump? Thank you so much in advance
I got a 2011 dodge and my steering wheel is hard to turn i need yo help okay is it plugs hook to the pump
2013 Dodge Charger. Power station
Does this work with the 2012 Dodge Durango
aron john just depends if the Durango has electric steering
What was the cause of that I have a 2012 and my steering is hard when i turn left and right
Damian Padilla the oring on the pump wore out.
Oz Mechanics yea cause when I turn it on and when I move it side to side it's hard so that could be the problem
How do you know if the entire pump needs to be replaced vs the reservoir?
steven mccrorey well I'm changing out the reservoir due to it leaking from the seal. If you noticed a leak else where might need to fix up the pump
Oz Mechanics I haven't look to see if its leaking, the car power steering is not working at all.. im praying its been leaking and its low or something
Oz Mechanics maybe it leaked all out, just praying i dont have to replace entire pump, I have a 2011 Charger R/T
steven mccrorey did you fix ur problem my is having the same trouble as ur
I replaced the entire pump, I purchased a used one from a junk yard for $100 and did the labor myself. Look around for a deal bro. New is like $800-$1200. Easy to replace yourself, dealer will rip you off.
couldn't you just replaced the o rings instead of the whole reservoir?
Could you have only took the reservoir off instead of the entire pump or does it all have to come off?
C Willz I found it easier removing everything
Thanks
I removed reservoir from the pump without removing the pump. The hardest part was dealing the the hydraulic line and the hose clamp. Needed to use two different sized slip jointed plyers, an allen wrench for the two hard to reach bolts.
@@airmike1271 I did it without removing the whole pump. Kind of tight but well worth it.. Appreciate your insight.
My gish the pump on my 09 only cost $70
how did you fill it up? i can't reach it🤔
kuwaitiazrg remove the wheel cover
I was able to pry back the wheel well cover and add fluid with a flex-funnel
How much you pay for the whole part??
Honestly, I forget. This video was published a lonnggg time ago

American cars...pfft. And I'm an old American muscle car enthusiast. I worked at Delphi in Rochester NY for 12 years and the level of incompetence is stunning. High level engineers can't even use cad since they've had cad jockeys helping them for so long. They're pathetic. That's why American cars still have problems...American engineers.
