Power Steering Fluid Level - 3/31/2005 1:22:04 PM    Custom24   Posts: 2 Joined: 3/14/2005 Status: offline Hi just a quick simple question. I've just bought a S/H Honda Civic 2003 Insprire S VTEC, standard UK spec. Normally, on a car with power steering, I would expect to see a steering fluid reservoir and I would check the level in this regularly. However, on mine, there does not seem to be such a reservoir. Although the manual does mention that the power steering fluid level should be checked regularly, it does not say how to check it or where to look. Any ideas? Thanks Mark Post #: 1

"Your Civic is fitted with electric power steering, as such is driven off the vehicles electrical system. Therefore does not require fluid." I don't know much about anything to do with car mechanics to be honest, but this sounds wrong to me... Mark (in reply to Gvaski) Post #: 4
