Power steering — checking for leaks (VW Lt 28)

52. Raise the car and insert a 30 mm spacer rod between the steering knuckle and the stop and axle beam.

53. Start the engine and let it idle.

54. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right so that it pinches the spacer rod. Do not hold the steering wheel in this position for more than 5 seconds at a time.

55. With the steering wheel in the extreme right position, inspect the system for leaks.

56. When finished, pull out the rod and lower the car to the ground.

57. More complex pressure tests must be performed by a specialist.
