ACC UK Ltd, Winners of The Independent Garage of the Year 2015, Servicing, Repair & MOT Specialists based in the heart of Farnborough, Hampshire like
to give you hints and tips on maintaining your Volvo or Toyota to help reduce breakdowns and expensive car repair bills. The blog this week is based
around the steering system on your Volvo or Toyota.
To keep your Volvo or Toyota’s steering system running smoothly, you should check the power steering fluid levels on a regular basis. You will find the
steering fluid reservoir near the power steering belt. These reservoirs are usually transparent which means that the fluid levels can be easily checked
visually.
If you find that the levels are low, top up the fluid immediately. If you perform regular weekly or monthly checks you will be quickly able to ascertain
if the levels need frequent topping up. If this is the case then it is advisable to get your car checked by an independent Volvo or Toyota garage.
You really should not need to keep topping the fluid level up with regularity so this should be a red beacon alerting you to the fact that there could
be a problem with a lead somewhere in the system.
A quick two minute visual inspection on a regular basis could save you hundreds of pounds if the potential problem is left unnoticed and you experience
steering failure. Not to mention the fact that steering failure could lead to an accident and potential injury and damage. Add this check to your regular
weekly or monthly fluid checks.
Be safe! Happy driving from all at ACC UK Ltd – Independent Volvo & Toyota Servicing, Repair & MOT specialists
based in Farnborough, Hampshire.
