Administrators hughezee Posted April 8, 2015 Author Administrators Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Yes new fluid is clear and the old fluid should be orangey brown colour that’s normal, just empty the reservoir well till it’s almost empty and then refill to max mk. The results should be immediate if not at least by the time you have used the whole bottle Also space out the changes between when the car is driven over the next week or so and report back on how the steering feels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member PaulS Posted July 27, 2016 Founding Member Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 I replaced the power steering cooling pipe and lost a little fluid in the process. Still above minimum, but is there any specific fluid I should use to top it up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted July 27, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hi Paul, check the filler cap, it usually says on there what it needs. On mine it is Dexron II-D and i'm sure on my last Accord coupé it was the same but i've a feeling your generation Accord coupé specifies something different. Stu will probably be along soon with a definite answer but check the PAS fluid filler cap just to see if it does say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted July 27, 2016 Author Administrators Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 The Honda power steering fluid is a special blend with the pump in mind as the rest of the system is basically the same as any other hydraulic steering system. Also the Honda fluid doesn't mix well with other off the shelf fluids and has a tendency to form foam and this can lead to heavy steering and pump damage So basically your looking for Honda PSF-S fluid Part Number-08284-99902HE or the alternative I've been using with good results is linked below 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted June 14, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Finally run out of ps fluid and the best price i could find is now 14 quid plus delivery . The Elysion still has a minor leak which i haven't managed to track down yet, suspect is a fitting behind the engine, above the chassis against the bulkhead...just can't get to it as Honda managed to cram a big engine into a small space 😬 Whilst perusing that well known auction shite looking for stuff I don't really need ! , I came across a guy selling two bottles of the stuff...we agreed a price of £11.00 bottle . As I don't think I will use two up in the next year then if anyone wants the spare bottle when it arrives its yours for same cost plus postage of course, no idea what that will be yet but just cost is fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound good in that area could be the top seal on the rack, I have had great success with the Lucas stuff, my power steering fluid is running very clean since using it too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 18, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Out of interest Stu, have you ever tried ATF-U/Valvoline or smilar ATF for PAS fluid? I've been using it for quite a while in mine, (both) and it seems to have sorted minor weps and gives light (but nicely weighted), quiet and smooth steering in both. Also worked well in the Jeep that had a steering box - better than Dexron II-D which was the specified fluid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted June 18, 2019 Author Administrators Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I have tried various fluids over the years and year 2000 ish systems seem perfectly fine on ATF, in general, providing its the majority fluid that is... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Mc Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thanks to inspiration on here started with p/s fluid renewal. Was it supposed to be this colour? https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8gmyh1rctajjok/20210705_122837.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/lmtd9ozmoemauht/20210705_122849.jpg?dl=0 Stinky stuff either way 🤭 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted July 5, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Shouldn't be that colour! Hopefully the next part-change will be somewhat cleaner! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mc Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Looks like undiluted vimto hah. Probably original or topped up with some cheap stuff at some point. Nice translucent lucas stuff in now 👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
