FAQs

Is this reservoir compatible with my car?

Please cross-reference your vehicle's specific make and model against the part number 35499 in your official service manual or parts catalog.

What is the total fill capacity?

The reservoir is designed to accommodate a fill quantity of 11.6 litres.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Standard mechanic's tools like wrenches, hose clamp pliers, and a fluid catch pan are typically sufficient, but follow your vehicle's specific service manual.

Why is the reservoir size important?

The dimensions (148 mm outer diameter, 272 mm thickness) ensure the unit fits securely within the factory-designed mounting points.

Should I flush the old fluid when installing this?

Yes, it is highly recommended to flush the old hydraulic oil when replacing the reservoir to ensure the new system operates with clean, uncontaminated fluid.

Troubleshooting

Steering system continues to whine after installation

This often indicates trapped air; repeat the bleeding process by turning the steering wheel lock-to-lock while the engine is running.

Fluid leakage at connector points

Verify that the hose clamps are tightened correctly and inspect the hoses for cracks that may prevent a proper seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or an experienced DIYer. Before beginning, ensure the engine is cool and the vehicle is properly supported on jack stands.

  1. Use the part number 35499 to cross-reference your specific vehicle service manual to ensure full compatibility.
  2. Drain the old hydraulic fluid completely before removing the old reservoir.
  3. Secure the 2 connectors firmly, ensuring all clamps are tightened to prevent leaks.
  4. Refill with the manufacturer-recommended hydraulic oil, not exceeding the 11.6-litre capacity.
  5. Bleed the steering system by turning the wheel lock-to-lock several times while the engine is idling to remove trapped air.

Regularly inspect the reservoir for signs of cracking or weeping fluid during routine oil changes to maintain optimal steering performance.
