Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the power steering reservoir and hose on a 2002 Volvo V70. The operation is very similar in 2001 through 2007 of the V70, as well as the S60, S80 and cross-country wagons. You'll need two one inch hose clamps, a 3/4 inch hose clamp, a long flat screwdriver, as well as some synthetic power steering fluid, and a pair of pliers to pinch the hose so that the fluid doesn't come out while we're doing the repair.
Remove the hose clamp on the return hose to the top of the power steering reservoir. If it is a Nitex type, cut it off. If it is a screw type, unscrew it. Remove that return hose on the power steering reservoir. There could be a little fluid that comes out so just be ready. Put your thumb over it if you have to, and then put it up behind the upper engine support so it doesn't leak.
Using a long flat-head screwdriver, pry up on the tab that holds the power steering reservoir to the coolant bottle. Use a pair of hose clamp pliers or long needle-nose vice grips to plug off the bottom hose of the power steering reservoir. Bend back on the clamp that holds the hose in place, and pull that up and out of the way. Then, using a screwdriver, remove the hose clamp that holds the hose to the power steering pump. Fast-forward as I do that.
Once the hose clamps are off, pull out the power steering reservoir and hose. Get your new hose clamp, slide it over the hose, put your hose onto the power steering reservoir, and go ahead and tighten up that hose clamp. You can see here the correct way to install that hose. It goes up into the bottom of the power steering reservoir, up and then down, around, and that's where it's going to go into the power steering pump.
Line up the two guides on the power steering reservoir to those of the coolant bottle, and then slide it into place and clip the top clip into place. Install a new hose clamp to the power steering pump side of the hose. Put it on the power steering pump and tighten it up.
Use a new hose clamp on the return line that goes into the top of the power steering reservoir, and slide that on to the reservoir and tighten that clamp back up. Refill your reservoir with the appropriate Volvo synthetic power steering fluid. Make sure that it's clean and free of debris. This may not look clean, but that's the actual color. It's a dark purple of the factory power steering fluid.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
Hey everyone, Sue here from 1A Auto and today on our 03 Volvo V70, I'm going to show you how to replace a power steering pump reservoir. We got this one from 1A Auto. If you need it, this part or any other part for your car, click on the link below and head on over to 1aauto.com.
I'm going to grab the old reservoir and I'm going to pull it upward. It attaches to the coolant tank reservoir. Just slides into the slotted area right there. So you can see two hoses here. We have the actual flow into the pump and then we have the return hose. So I'm going to disconnect the return hose first. Yours might be a factory clamp, which is a ... It's a one time use, so you might have to break it off with a pair of cutters or pliers. So I replaced this one once already. I'm going to take this clamp off with a flathead screwdriver. Move it on down, pry that off. There you go. So you don't want all the fluid going everywhere, I have a catch pan underneath so when I do have some over drips. I'm going to slide this back here and keep it above the level.
So my new tank has these nifty little covers, caps that come along. I'm not going to use them on the new one, but I can snap them on the the old one so I don't lose fluid everywhere. So I'm going to get the bottom one off and ready to go. So I'm going to take this clamp off. This is a 7mm socket. I don't know if you have that style at home or whatever clamp you have, just remove it and if it's something you can't reuse, make sure you have one ready to go and it's the proper size.
Now I'm going to just twist this right off and see how quick that was. Rest that right there. Put this on there, reattach my new reservoir. Make sure it's tight. Attach the return hose.
Okay, I'm going to take this slotted guide. There's three of them. You can see there's two on the bottom, and then one of the top. So push in on the bottom part of it while you slide it down and it locks right in like that.
Now to transfer the fluid over, I'm going to take the bottom one off, bring it on, let it pour in. We're going to reuse this cap. Well, because I did spill some, I'm gonna obviously pick up my mess here, but then I'm going to start it and run it and make sure I top this reservoir off of the new one with the manufacturers specifications for power steering fluid.
