Purpose and function in the power steering system

The presented reservoir is a component from the Power steering pump parts group, responsible for storing and supplying working fluid to the pump. In systems used in the Ford Transit Mk7 with a diesel engine, it plays a key role in maintaining proper pressure and reducing cavitation, which translates into smooth power steering operation.

A properly selected power steering fluid reservoir:

• ensures a stable fluid level under various engine operating conditions,
• limits system aeration, which reduces noise and vibrations on the steering wheel,
• supports the service life of the power steering pump and hydraulic hoses.

Benefits of using an original Ford component

The original power steering fluid reservoir designed for the Ford Transit Mk7 has been engineered for the specific geometry of the engine compartment and the operating parameters of the hydraulic system. As a result:

• it fits factory mounts without the need for modifications,
• it maintains the correct working capacity and port layout,
• it is compatible with the hoses and pump used in diesel versions.

Choosing an original component allows you to maintain the integrity of the entire power steering system, which is important for both driving comfort and the durability of other components.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered reservoir comes from disassembly and is sold as a used part. Such components, provided they maintain proper tightness and internal cleanliness, can successfully continue to operate in the vehicle, representing an economical service solution. In practice, this allows for reduced power steering repair costs while maintaining the original assembly specifications.

Before installation, a standard service procedure is recommended, including checking the hoses, changing the fluid, and thoroughly bleeding the system to fully utilize the potential of the installed reservoir.
