To all good day! This article will tell you how to make yourself oil change power steering Lada Priora... The procedure is simple and normally it will take no more than one hour.
So, first, let's decide what tools and materials we need. First, we need the power steering fluid itself. For replacement, 1 liter will be enough. Recommended fluid:
Pentosin CHF 11S... Article for searching in online stores: 4 008849 503016
In addition, other fluids can be used in the Priora power steering. For example:
FEBI 46161
Vaico V60-0018
SWAG 99 90 6162
And you can also use any liquid with the Dexron II or III standard. These are automatic transmission fluids, but they can also be used in the Lada Priora power steering.
We also need:
Jack - 2 pcs.
- Plastic bottle 0.5l, 1.5l - 1 pc.
- Syringe and thin hose - 1 pc.
- Screwdriver.
Instructions for changing the oil power steering Priora
1. The first step is to raise the front of the vehicle. This is to make it easier to turn the steering wheel. For this, two conventional jacks are suitable.
2.Using an ordinary medical syringe, pump out the liquid from the power steering tank into any container.
3. When the liquid is drained, remove the return hose from the tank and insert it into a plastic bottle. At this stage of changing the oil for Power Steering Priora, it is better to get an assistant who will rotate the steering wheel all the way in both directions. When the steering wheel rotates, fluid is squeezed out of the system. As practice shows, for the complete pumping of fluid from the system, it is sufficient 8-10 full turns of the steering wheel to the stop.
4. Reinstall the return hose and fill the tank with new power steering fluid. After the tank is full, the assistant starts to turn the steering wheel again.
At this moment, the power steering fluid will begin to gradually leave the system. When the level decreases, it is necessary to gradually add new oil to the tank. The work is carried out until the liquid in the tank stops leaving. Then we set the required level in the tank by topping up or pumping out oil. We wrap the cover and lower the car from the jacks.
That's all! Power steering Priora oil change this is complete. Agree that everything is not so difficult? And such a simple procedure will extend the life of the power steering pump at times. Do not save on consumables, see you soon!

I'm going to buy a new Priora soon, and the consultant at the car dealership said that I can't find such cars anywhere with an electric booster. I heard that the power steering affects the power of the engine and not at all in better side... What do you think of it?
To figure out whether a gur or an eur on a prior will show itself better, you can only learn about the performance of these amplifiers from those who use them on their VAZ cars of this family. Fortunately, today there are a lot of such motorists, therefore, guided by their reviews and valid technical characteristics of the aforementioned devices, you can easily make an overall picture of the appropriateness of using each of them.
So, the rumors that the power steering "absorbs" the engine power - unfortunately, the truth. However, you should not immediately give it up just because of this. The fact is that when calculating per 100 Horse power the hydraulic booster "eats up" only two, which is not so significant. On the other hand, power steering is a rather complex system for which it is very difficult to find recomplements. Nevertheless, good reviews there is quite a lot about its domestic rail of 2.5 revolutions, which cannot be said about the analogue of an electric amplifier - a four, with a minimum number of revolutions. Although the design of the EUR is rather progressive in comparison with its predecessor - there are fewer parts, therefore, there are also breakdowns.
Not many people like the moment of turning off the EUR, because the steering wheel under such circumstances becomes hard to turn, which is too inconvenient for traveling around the city, where, you know, there are a lot of turns. In some cases, the complexity of steering wheel control varies by itself, and this, of course, is unsafe, especially if the driver is counting on a tight turn, but here it is easy for him, and it will not take long to turn around, let alone just turn. In this respect, the power steering system is more stable, which provides additional comfort when driving on the highway.
On the other hand, electric amplifiers break less often, and the restoration of the rail, if necessary, will cost no more than 10 thousand rubles. But the power steering rack costs from 20 tr. In addition, the quality of the stroke in the case of the latter is significantly influenced by the number of revolutions. In principle, if their number reaches 2.7, this is good, but such ease of control can have a detrimental effect on car parking. So, if you do not calculate the strength, you can "stick" into the nearest obstacle. And yet the point here is most likely in the driver's habit of maneuverability. The long power steering rail, by the way, also matters - the shorter it is, the better it is.
As for the EUR, it, in turn, saves fuel and does not affect the engine power. Considering this point, it may be better for a small car such as the Priora to have an electric booster than hydraulics. But the worst thing that can happen to him is his shutdown in the event of a breakdown, so his condition should be monitored from time to time.
Well, both power steering and EUR have both pros and cons. Referring to the above facts, the buyer of Priora will be able to select the amplifier system individually, although cars of this model with an electric amplifier are now practically not produced. In this case, if the driver does not like the hydraulics, it can simply be replaced. Of course, you will have to spend a little on this, but a safe comfortable ride is much more important than the money you have to part with.
The reason for contacting the owner of the car LADA Priora at the service station there was an extraneous noise when the steering wheel was moving. During the diagnostics, the hum of the power steering pump was detected. Apparently the end of his work has come, or liquid GUR changed very rarely (recommended frequency 50-60 thousand km mileage). You can try to simply change the fluid to the original one or try to temporarily restore the pump, but it is better to replace it immediately Power steering on the Prior and do not waste time. In addition, it is cheaper than buying twice a liquid and a repair kit for repair.
What power steering pump can be installed on the Priora (VAZ 2170)?
We chose a spare part from an analog manufacturer for installation MSG with article number VZ 001.
What kind of oil to fill in the power steering Priora?
What kind of oil to fill in the power steering
It is not possible to fill in any oil in the power steering. The difference between PSF and ATF is huge. Requirements for it are even greater than for the engine. It should be exclusively mineral water or synthetics, as well as a certain viscosity and properties
Light green oil is poured into the Priora hydraulic booster from the factory Pentosin CHF 11S, the cost of which is more than 1000 rubles per liter. Original article 00001-7504780-00-0 (price 1200 rubles). The manufacturer recommends using for GUR only the original liquid, therefore in the manual makes a note that the use of a liquid other than Pentosin Hydraulik Fluid CHF 11S-TL VW52137 may entail!
We made a choice in favor of transmission synthetic oil DEXRON III AUTOMATIC PLUS by Mannol. vendor code 1 l power steering fluid bottles - AP10107. The average market value is 390 rubles. It can also be liquid. FEBI 6161(price RUB 500)

Find the drive belt tension roller nut. We loosen it with an open-end wrench by 17 mm.
We lift the car to gain access to the drive belt.
We shoot drive belt from the power steering pulley.
The next step is to dismantle the power steering pulley. Unscrew 3 hex head pulley nuts by 13 mm.
Remove the power steering pulley from the seat. Opened three bolts of the power steering. We unscrew them with a hex head by 13 mm.
There are three more bolts on the back of the power steering. We dismantle the mounts.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the clamp for securing the inlet pipe.
We put a container or oil receiver under the power steering pump and drain the oil. In order for the power steering fluid to come out as much as possible, you need to manually turn the wheel left and right.
Replacing the power steering on the Priore with your own hands is a mandatory operation for everyone. Power steering or power steering is a device that is now found in almost every car of both domestic and foreign origin. Thanks to it, less effort is applied to the steering wheel, which makes driving absolutely safe. Therefore, many are beginning to be interested in the question of which oil in the power steering is better, how to replace the composition if necessary.
The design itself will be especially relevant for SUVs, large trucks. It also has several additional features:
- Allows you to drive the car even if the system is out of order.
- Softens hand knocks when the road is rough. Helps maintain control of the machine, even if front wheel was torn apart while driving.
- Makes it much smaller ratio at the steering gear. The car becomes less agile, but more stable.
The hydraulic oil needs to be changed over time. This happens when a leak occurs or according to the attached instructions.
But many people believe that adding oil is not needed, as well as replacing it, because the car feels and behaves perfectly on the road.
Instruments
You will need the following tools.
- A few rags are indispensable.
- A plastic vessel with a volume of at least a liter.
- A syringe, a large rubber bulb.
- Socket wrench for ten.
- Pliers.
Operating procedure
Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare a container where the oil will drain. Castrol is no exception.
- Jack up the front wheels. Two tools should be enough for this. The procedure will be especially useful when you have to drain the old composition.
- A pear or syringe will help rid the structure of old fluid. In this case, the oil tank becomes one of the most important parts.
- It is necessary to cover the belts with something. This will protect them from oil, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of the marks later.
- You need to call an assistant so that he twists the steering wheel to the right and left to the maximum. Oil will reappear in the tank, which must be pumped out immediately.
- The return hose is disconnected. It doesn't matter if you use Hado oil, Eneos oil or something else.
- The hose is lowered into the bottle, after which the old excess liquid is drained out again.
- You can plug the hose back in when everything is completely drained.
- A new composition is poured, it is possible until the Lada Priora part is completely filled. The replacement frequency has already been described earlier.
- Again you need to ask someone to turn the steering wheel. The oil is added to the system as it goes away.
- The specification says that you need to start the engine for 10-15 seconds after the work has been completed. The liquid will start to decrease again. And again, top-up is required.
- It remains to make sure that no air bubbles appear in the reservoir when turning the steering wheel. The power steering always requires these checks.
- If necessary, add oil to the appropriate level.
After all the points are completed, you need to start the engine and turn the steering wheel to the side. Factory oil should not give any trouble. The presence of hum is also unacceptable. The rotation should be very gentle, without any problem.
Interchangeability and classification of oils
Usually oils are divided into several types depending on the color. After how much to change the oil, it has already been told. Color classification is not entirely correct. And do not think that you can mix different brands of oils, even if their color is exactly the same. The composition and viscosity can always be different.
The oils in the power steering differ; they have different characteristics depending on the color.
There are some peculiarities associated with the color of the oil that are worth considering in more detail.
- Green color. This family is mainly used in VAG, Citroen, Peugeot cars. The main thing is to never mix mineral water with synthetics if they have this color. Oil is never suitable for an automatic transmission.
- In cars of the Mercedes brand, the brand of oil is used, painted in yellow.
- Dexrons are red. Only for automatic boxes gear.
Synthetic oil can be added to power steering, but not in every case. To get the desired result, you need to understand whether the rubber parts have a special composition. But there are quite a few such options available.
Mixing system
Red and yellow oils can be mixed with each other only if they belong to the same group - synthetic or mineral. But mixing greens is allowed only with their own kind.
If you add green oil to yellow oil, foam can form. Then it is necessary to flush the system before using oil with a different color.
No side effects are observed when yellow power steering oils and mineral Dexrons are mixed. In the new composition, such additives continue to function normally.
You can add, for example, conditionally miscible oils. Only from different manufacturers, and the mixing itself takes place in different ways. The service life of the hydraulic booster does not change, as well as the main operating mode.
There are also oils that can only be mixed with each other. They can be used instead of other compounds if the entire system has been previously cleaned.
