Power steering Peugeot Expert is part of the steering mechanism to make it easier to turn the steering wheel and set the trajectory. If you have difficulty turning the steering wheel, or howling when you turn it, first of all, you should check the fluid level in the power steering reservoir.

1.  Park the vehicle on level ground, allow the engine to cool, and open the hood.  The power steering reservoir is located in the engine compartment on the right in the direction of travel of the vehicle.

2.  The tank body is marked "MAX" and "MIN" . When the engine is warmed up to normal temperature, the level of the working fluid should be near the “MAX” mark. When the engine is cold, the fluid level must not be below the “MIN” mark.

3.  To add fluid to the power steering reservoir Peugeot Expert, turn counterclockwise and remove the cap from the reservoir. 

4. Add Peugeot Expert power steering fluid to the reservoir to the “MAX” level.

Note:

The liquid level must be kept within acceptable limits and not pour too much of it into the tank. Because power steering fluid expands during engine operation, pressure buildup can lead to problems and costly repairs.

5. Close the power steering reservoir cap tightly by turning it clockwise. Wipe up spilled liquid with a clean rag.

Note:

Be sure to use the correct power steering fluid for your vehicle, as each power steering fluid requires a different viscosity (density) to properly power the steering system.

The manufacturer does not recommend using gear oil instead of steering fluid. There is a wide variety of fluid types to choose from and choosing the wrong kind can result in steering failure and failure of steering seals.
