Power steering fluid flush / change ? - how ?

I looked through the workshop.manual and couldn't find anything specific about a fluid change just refill.after work.

What's the procedure on the T6 to change the fluid ?

I ask as I noticed when it's cold minus 5 and below I get a loud whine from the pump until the fluid warms up then its quiet. Its 6 years old and suspect it's absorbed some moisture over the years.

There isn't a maintenance procedure for this as it's a sealed system.

However, if I were to undertake this, I would probably unclip the return hose on the reservoir and direct it(connect it) to a catch container. With someone else, get them to start the engine whilst you pour in new fluid and then ask them to stop when you have replaced enough. Reconnect the hose and check the level etc.

However the maintenance checks, do suggest turning the steering 10 times lock to lock to expel air for bleeding.
