Re: Power steering fluid (THC07)

Thx --- But do you have to stop air entering by filling the reservoir with new fluid at the same time as the old fluid comes out, like when you change brake fluid ?

Probably because there is some weight on your steering, try waggling the steering wheel hard in each direction at the same time you turn the key. Careful not to exert any more force than normal on...

Re: 99 prelude v-tec engagement???? vtec solenoid (keiths04)

Might just be a case of the vtec screen in the valve needs taking out and cleaning, then replace and use a new gasket, a part blocked screen can cause vtec not to engage or be intermittent.

Re: Honda Prelude 1997-2001 2.3 (djshandy)
