Where does the power steering fluid go in a Pontiac G6 2006?
On the 2006 G6, it is mounted to the power steering pump near the alternator. Remove the dipstick from the reservoir. The fluid level should be in the cross-hatched area of the dipstick. Add small amount of power steering fluid until the level is correct.
What kind of power steering does a Pontiac G6 have?
Four cylinder 06 G6 has electric power assist motor, no hydraulic reservoir anywhere to fill. My power steering assist motor failed intermittantly and without warning repeatedly with 16,000 miles (Yes 16,000 NOT 116,000). Original estimate $825.
Why does my Pontiac G6 make a noise when I turn?
My 2007 Pontiac G6 GT 3.5L V6 started making noises when I would make turns. A day later the noise got louder and I could hear it just by accelerating. It sounded like I just need to added power steering fluid.
When does the power steering light come on?
I have a 2005 Pontiac G6 GT and it’s power steering light came on. It’s an intermittent thing with the power steering. Sometimes you will lose power steering and sometimes you won’t. You just have to restart the car and play with it a little.
What causes power steering to cut out twice?
If a seal is leaking, the pressure on either side of the piston can equalize meaning that the pump is doing no work and the driver is doing all of it without assistance – hence the steering cutting “out twice on previous owner”. It’s possible for a DIYer to rebuild a hydraulic rack, but I’ve always opted to swap them out with store-bought units.
