Recently on my old TD my power steering pump was leaking and was drawing in air and managed to get water into it when going through a ford. :doh: so i got a 2nd hand one for £30 and stuck tht on it but the fluid went all mayonasey again. :mad: Put a 200tdi in the old girl a few weeks ago and filled up power steering all was well for about 100miles then the power steering started to die and wen i checked the fluid levels low and behold it was nearly empty in the reservoir and it had gone that pale pink colour it goes when water gets in it. :( Is it possible that there was still some contaminated fluid in the steering box which is responsilbe for this?? no visible sign of any leaks or anything :confused::confused: havnt been through any water since ive had the new engine in so am at a bit of a loss. cheers
 
Entirely possible but where did it all go, when you put it all together did you purge all the air properly?
