There is nothing difficult in changing the power steering oil on the Chevrolet Aveo - you can do everything yourself. To change the power steering fluid, you need a syringe, an empty container for the old fluid, and, of course,.
How to change the power steering oil Chevrolet Aveo
Use a syringe to pump out the old liquid from expansion tank... Then unscrew the expansion tank fasteners and remove it to gain access to the hoses. By disconnecting the hoses, you can drain the remaining fluid from the reservoir.
Next, you should lower the hose into the container and turn the steering wheel - a little more liquid will go. After that, replace the tank, connect the lower hose and plug the upper hole in the tank. Pour new oil into the reservoir and turn the steering wheel again until the hose starts run clear liquid... Then connect the upper hose, pour new fluid into the tank to the maximum mark, start the engine and turn the steering wheel. If the liquid leaves the tank, top up.
When to change power steering fluid on Aveo
The maintenance regulations on the Chevrolet Aveo do not indicate the frequency of replacing the power steering fluid. It is prescribed to check the fluid at the next maintenance every 15,000 km and change if it becomes dark and cloudy.
If you begin to notice problems (a hum or noise appeared when turning the steering wheel, etc.) in the operation of the power steering (GUR) - you should think about changing the oil in the power steering... This usually means that the hydraulic oil is dirty and needs to be replaced.
In the Chevrolet Aveo, oil change in the power steering is not regulated, i.e. the driver only has to monitor the level and top up the missing amount. However, experienced aveovody recommend replacing the power steering fluid at least every 100 thousand km.
Help:

The procedure for changing the oil in the power steering
- Open the lid of the power steering system reservoir and pump out the liquid with a syringe.
Pump out liquid from the reservoir
- Unscrew the nuts securing the tank.
Unscrew the tank
Also unscrew these two tank fastening nuts.
- Use pliers to squeeze the return hose clamp and disconnect it from the reservoir.
Disconnect the return hose
- Place the waste container in a free area and route the disconnected hose into it. If the container is installed below the liquid level, then part of it will drain from the system on its own.
Install a container to drain the remaining liquid
To speed up the process of pumping out the remaining liquid, hang out the front of the car (it makes it easier to turn the steering wheel when the engine is not running) and turn wheel in different directions.
As an option for completely pumping out the liquid, you can connect a pump or compressor to the reservoir and purge the system, squeezing out the remaining oil.
- Disconnect the second hose from the tank and remove the tank.
Disconnect the second hose
- Thoroughly wash the tank, you can use gasoline for this purpose.
- There is a non-removable filter in the tank, the contamination of which also negatively affects the operation hydraulic system steering gear. Therefore, if the filter cannot be cleaned, replace the tank with a new one.
- It's time to use the assistant (if you are smart, then the assistant is not needed). Insert a funnel into the hose that goes straight to the power steering pump (disconnected last), fill in fluid and turn the steering wheel from side to side. Repeat this procedure until clear liquid comes out of the "return".
- Connect hoses to the tank and install it.
Tighten the tank retaining nuts
- Add hydraulic oil to the level.
Pour fresh oil into the power steering system
- Now you need to pump the system and get rid of the air, for this we turn the steering wheel and add oil if the level drops.
Oil level in the power steering reservoir
The manual for the Chevrolet Aveo says that the oil in the power steering does not change at all. However, I noticed that the fluid in the system has darkened very much, so it is still worth changing it. But what caused the darkening? This could be due to a problem in the steering or in the power steering itself. But the diagnostics showed that everything is fine there, so I will only change the oil.
We prepare all the necessary tools, and we also need 1 liter of oil. Necessary tools are: a screwdriver with a Phillips tip, pliers, a 10 spanner, a 20 milliliter medical syringe, a piece of small diameter tube, a compressor or a pump, and an empty vessel for draining old oil.
Let's move on to the replacement. Before starting work, make sure that the engine is cold, we will not work on a hot engine. We unscrew the lid of the tank and pump out some of the oil with a syringe so that the pressure in the system decreases. You can pump out all the oil in this way, in this case you do not need to pull out the return hose. If you went the other way, then remove the clamp with pliers and pull out the return hose.
We unscrew the fastening of the power steering reservoir with a screwdriver, remove it. We place the return line hose in an empty vessel, then connect the pump to the fitting and let air into the system. All the oil in the line will drain through the hose. After all the oil has been removed, make a couple of turns with the steering wheel in different directions, so the rest of the oil will drain. At the same time, we do not start the engine. We put the tank in its original place, fill in new oil to the maximum level.
We start the car and add oil as needed. Attention! There should always be oil in the tank, do not allow it to completely disappear. We make a couple more turns in different directions with the steering wheel already with the engine running. We turn off the unit and after 15 minutes we repeat the procedure several times. This is how we remove all the air from the system.

The power steering pump is considered a high-tech unit that pumps fluid under a certain pressure into the steering mechanism and circulates the fluid in the steering system. Today we will discuss in more detail the power steering pump of the Chevrolet Aveo.
How is the power steering installed correctly?
Due to the lack of a power steering on a Chevrolet Aveo car, many motorists decide to install the power steering on their own car. Naturally, it will also be necessary to adjust the gearbox speed sensor, otherwise, at the start of the movement at low speeds, the driver will not notice any changes. That is, the steering wheel will turn slightly harder.
At the moment of a set of high speeds, the steering wheel will move to the owner vehicle with little resistance.
The most difficult procedure is considered to be the replacement of the gearbox. To carry out this procedure, you will need to cut a hole in the front flap and slightly modify the bipod. To install the gearbox, it will be necessary to install the bracket to which the power steering pump is screwed onto the head of the cylinder block. After that, you need to change the pulley on the crankshaft, and the drive for the pump using a belt drive. Next, you will need to think over the location of the expansion tank, as well as combine all the hoses and fill in oil.
