Interchangeable with hose 2110-3408026-01 (discontinued). The new model with a thermal protective sleeve helps to avoid vibration in the power steering system at high ambient temperatures.

When replacing the high and low pressure hoses of the power steering system, it is necessary to replace the oil tank with a filter element.

Using a jack, we raise the front part of the car, having previously installed stops for the rear wheels. Then open the hood and pump out the oil from the power steering reservoir. The easiest way to do this is with a bulb or syringe. For convenience, use an extension hose for the syringe. After the oil has been completely pumped out of the tank, you need to turn the steering wheel several times until it stops, alternately left and right, so that a new portion of liquid appears in the tank. We pump it out again. Again we repeat a similar procedure with rotating the steering wheel and pumping out the oil.

When the liquid is completely removed from the system, using pliers we loosen the hose clamp that goes from the passenger compartment to the tank. Remove the hose and insert it into a container to drain the liquid. Turn the steering wheel alternately left and right until it stops to drain out any remaining oil.

Background

I'll tell you in a nutshell what happened to me. I drove a car a lot. Initially, something was dripping, and I could not figure out where it was flowing from.

I'll wash everything and oil again. I couldn’t understand whether the barrel was leaking or something else. Then one day I opened the hood and everything was covered in hydraulic fluid.

I started the car, turned the steering wheel and straight “fountains” came out of the hose. The hose was not original before, it was already soldered. All cracked. I tried to insert the clamp and of course nothing worked. All the same, everything flowed and oozed from under the clamp.

Somehow I had some free time. I thought, maybe I could cut the hose with a grinder, put a regular hose on a clamp and everything would work for me. I installed the hose, everything is fine. One, two, three... The steering wheel turned. Bang! Everything exploded for me.

Everyone who watched was completely covered in oil. There was a lot of laughter, but the fact is that in the evening I had plans, I had to go. I thought that a couple of minutes and everything would be fine. Bad luck. Nothing worked for me, and driving without a power steering hose is not an option at all.

We started thinking and eventually came to the conclusion that we still need to install a high-pressure hose. We ran to a landfill. There were a bunch of spare parts from Kamaz and tractors. Finally we found the power steering hose.

But on one side there was an eight tube, and on the other, a ten tube. It was clear that he did not fit. And another problem was that I couldn’t unscrew the nut on the side of the tank. It became so acidic there and the thread was torn off. It was awkward to climb up. And it took half a day to remove the power steering barrel, but I didn’t really want to tinker. A new hose cost ten thousand rubles, and it took too long to order.

In general it is considered impossible, but I tried. Happened. I noticed a power steering leak on the side of the low pressure pipe, or rather not the pipe, but the low pressure fitting.

I’ll tell you what a fitting is now. It is used to connect other products to various tanks and pipelines.

What does the power steering system consist of and how does it work?

The Priora's power steering works in the steering system. Its main part is the pump. The system fluid circulates in a special tank, pipes, and hoses that can withstand high pressure.

The operation of the hydraulic booster depends on the quality and “purity” of the corresponding working fluid in the system. When the driver turns the steering wheel, the pump increases the pressure of the working fluid, and it pushes the piston, increasing the force on the steering rack. In this case, the force that develops thanks to the pump is proportional to the resistance force that acts on the wheels - be it off-road or on a free track.

It turns out that at high speed the Priora’s hydraulic booster practically does not work - changing lanes or turning requires the least effort. A special torsion bar device, which is part of the steering mechanism, helps to properly distribute the resulting forces. Having received a signal in time that the created pressure is sufficient, the pump stops its operation, and sufficient auxiliary force is created to turn the steering wheel. It turns out that while driving, the driver constantly needs to act on the steering wheel with the same force, because the power steering always minimizes the impact of the opposing force.

Differences between EUR and power steering

These are completely different units. To understand the main differences, it is enough to study the hydraulic booster. Its main component is a pump driven by the crankshaft, it is integrated with other parts. The operating principle of the hydraulic booster is based on hydraulics.

As for the electric power steering, it is driven by an electric motor. Its design also includes an electronic control unit, a steering shaft with a torsion element and sensors. The EUR works according to a different scheme:

When the steering wheel rotates, the torsion shaft twists;
Special sensors record changes in the position of the shaft and send data to the electronic control unit;
After analyzing the information, the unit sends commands to the electric motor;
As a result, the unit creates the necessary force or facilitates turning the steering wheel.

Car enthusiasts often argue which option is preferable for the “ten”. In fact, power steering is an obsolete unit that is being actively removed from modern passenger cars. The electric booster works even when the engine is turned off and weighs less than the power steering. The main advantage over “hydraulics” is reliability - the electric unit requires virtually no maintenance. There is less load on the engine, and as a result, less fuel is also needed. The EUR is also good for our conditions because it functions well at low temperatures.

But the electric booster also has its drawbacks. Its design is more complex than that of “hydraulics”, hence the high price. Sometimes the electronic control unit sends incorrect commands, this was especially felt by the owners of the first generation Kalina. If you drive for a long time on a poor-quality road surface (or lack thereof), the EUR may turn off for several minutes due to overheating.

Replacing power steering fluid in a Chevrolet Niva (VAZ 2123)

Actually, having stopped by to specially adjust the headlights before the maintenance, the local master, who was starting his own business, decided to lure me to his place by opening the power steering reservoir cap and pleased me with a quick replacement, so the oil there was dark in color and smelled of burning. He asked for 1000 rubles for the work. Ha! Yes, I'm over a thousand... In short, we climbed onto the glorious Lacetti club www.lacetti-club.ru/vb_forum/index.php where I found a detailed description of the operation www.lacetti-club.ru/vb_fo...php?p=755031&postcount=72 But there was no photographs. But it will be easier to navigate using the pictures. Even in driving schools they study traffic rules from pictures. I decided to correct this misunderstanding. In general, I found some time and got to work. To replace, we will need the following tools: a medical syringe

Replacing the power steering fluid of a Lada Priora car step by step instructions

To change the power steering fluid of the Priora, it is highly recommended to call a friend and partner. You will have to perform several operations simultaneously. For convenience, it is recommended to place the car in a pit or raise the front of the car on two supports using a jack. Prepare a container to drain the used fluid. Carry out work on replacing the Priora power steering fluid in the following order:

Secure the car.
Remove the power steering reservoir cap. Place the syringe into the tank and gradually pump out the liquid accumulated in it. For convenience, before putting the syringe into the tank, it is recommended to put a small hose on it. It is also recommended to cover with a cloth the entire engine compartment over which you will carry the syringe with oil to the container, so as not to pour in excess drops.
Ask your partner to get into the car and turn the steering wheel. At this time, suck out the liquid that flows into the tank from the hoses.
But that is not all. To collect the remaining oil, loosen the clamp of the high pressure hose, grab the hose, and lower it into the drain container.
Ask your partner to turn the steering wheel again.
Reinstall the hose and tighten the clamp tightly.
You only need to fill in new fluid. First, fill it almost to the top, and then ask a friend to turn the steering wheel. The fluid level will drop, but this is normal. Add a little more, leaving a few centimeters up to the throat.
Have someone start the engine for 10-20 seconds and then turn it off. After this, you need to turn the steering wheel again. During this time, the remaining air will leave the system.
Add oil to the normal level. Screw on the tank cap and close the hood.
Start the engine. Check if the power steering works as well as it did before.

Depending on the year of manufacture, the “ten” can be equipped with a hydraulic booster (power steering) or an electric booster (electric power steering). Of course, the second option is preferable, since it makes driving the car easier and more comfortable. If your power steering is worn out or you just want to replace it, then it is recommended to choose the power steering for the VAZ 2110 as an alternative.

Niva Chevrolet Niva Chevrolet replacing the heater hose using the dentist's method

Intensive use of the Chevrolet Niva makes the color of the power steering oil darker over time, often with a burning smell. This is a reason to think about replacing it.

Overheating of the oil often occurs when the steering wheel is held in the extreme position for a long time, until it boils; the pressure in this case is maximum.

You should also not leave your car parked for a long time with the steering wheel turned all the way. There are two ways to replace the fluid in the Chevrolet Niva power steering: To partially replace the power steering oil, you will need a syringe with a tube and the oil itself, enough so that at the end of the work it will no longer be dark.

Using a syringe with a tube, completely pump out the fluid from the power steering reservoir. Fill the reservoir with new fluid to the MAX level.

We start the engine and turn the steering wheel left and right to the extreme position. Drive onto an overpass, or jack up the car so as to hang the front wheels of the Chevrolet Niva, in order to be able to easily rotate them with the engine not running.

Use a syringe with a tube to remove as much old oil as possible from the tank. Now you need to determine through which hose the oil enters the Chevrolet Niva power steering expansion tank - this is the return, and through which it leaves and goes to the power steering pump. Disconnect the hose through which the oil enters the return tank.

Installing power steering - step by step instructions

This instruction is intended for VAZ 2110 cars, which do not have power steering at all. Such models were produced a long time ago, but they can still be found on the road today. In this case, the car can be upgraded with your own hands.

You can install the power steering yourself; for this you will need a power steering kit - today it can be purchased for about 20 thousand. From the tools, prepare a set of keys and screwdrivers; you should also take care of the amplifier fluid in advance.

We dismantle the timing case and install the bracket on three bolts. There are already holes in the interior, so there is no need to drill new ones. Now we install the pin on which the roller will later be installed. There are no holes for it, so we make new ones. Let's put on a video.

Here you can see the fasteners that need to be removed. The photo below shows in detail what needs to be sawed off. After this, securely fix the pump on the bracket and cover it with a pillow. The assembled unit should be placed on the engine, or rather, in the place where the generator was mounted.
