So, after 1 hour of driving, the power steering pump measured 47-50°C, the coolant 57-60°C. If the temperature of the power steering fluid also increases by 10°C in the summer, that is still okay!

However, some of the information doesn't seem to match up.
At 50°C on the power steering pump, you should be able to touch it for at least a short time (>=2 seconds). This doesn't match the information you provided earlier.

A cooling water temperature of below 60°C after 1 hour of driving also doesn't seem correct (assuming it was measured at the engine outlet, not the inlet).

How did you measure the values?

Hi.

Yesterday, the external conditions were different, and I didn't have any problems reaching for things. With an ambient temperature above 25°C, it will probably be different (but likely within acceptable limits)!
"Measured with a laser. The coolant was measured at the inlet of the radiator, which is at the top (and should be the outlet from the engine)!"

Greetings.

You will measure with an infrared temperature measuring device! You measure distances with a laser .

I hope that the measuring device also allows you to adjust the emission level. If not, please refer to the user manual.
Anyway, these temperature readings are within the normal range.

Hi!
You can't really measure highly polished, metallic surfaces with this.
In that case, all you can do is use some paint or tape.

I don't own such a measuring device.

I borrowed the device from the Öamtc for a short time.
I'll probably have to wait until next summer to provide truly accurate information.

But, as I mentioned, on the day I took the measurement, I also noticed the cracking sound (although it was a bit quieter).

It's related to the temperature, and it likely originates from the area where the cross joint connects to the steering linkage.

I'm going to loosen the tension screw soon, let's see if it makes a difference, whether it gets better or worse?

Hello.

The issue has been resolved!

I once replaced shock absorbers, and the spring wasn't installed straight, which caused tension (the strut mount was also replaced at the same time).

The servo oil has the correct temperature.



Thank you and best regards.
