The power steering pump replacement procedure on a Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDI involves removing the drive belt, disconnecting the hydraulic lines from the pump, removing the pump and its mountings, then installing the new pump, connecting the hoses, tensioning the belt, and filling the system with power steering fluid. It is important to proceed with extreme caution, disconnecting the battery, and after replacing the pump, flush the system and bleed it to remove any air.
Basic steps for replacing the power steering pump:
1) Preparation:
- Disconnect the vehicle battery to avoid short circuits and damage to electronic components;
- Drain the power steering fluid from the system, as it will drain when the hoses are disconnected;
2) Removing the old pump:
- Locate the power steering pump, which is driven by the drive belt from the crankshaft;
- Remove the drive belt by loosening the tensioner pulley or tensioner mechanism;
- Disconnect the feed and return hydraulic hoses from the pump, be prepared for fluid to leak;
- Loosen the pump mounting bolts and remove the pump;
3) Installing the new pump:
- Install the new pump in the old pump's place and secure it with the bolts;
- Connect the hydraulic hoses to the new pump, ensuring a tight connection;
4) Finishing:
- Reinstall the drive belt and adjust its tension correctly;
- Fill the power steering reservoir with new fluid;
- Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times with the engine off to bleed air from the system;
- Start the engine, check the fluid level, and repeat the steering wheel turning procedure;
- Check for leaks and proper steering operation.
