Hi

The powersteering on our Mazda 626 2.0 year 2000 van got contaminated
with sprinkler (washer) fluid.

GAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Luckily engine didnt get started, so hopefully.............. it is
just a flush of the resoirvoir?

But, what is best/easiest way to do it?

Got 10 thumbs and 2 left hands..............

Best regards

Jens

Get a turkey baster from the grocery store (long tube with a rubber bulb on
the end).

Suck out ALL the fluid from the reservoir.

Refill with whatever correct fluid is specified by Mazda.

Relax.
