PT Cruiser L4-2.4L Turbo VIN 8 (2005)
OPERATION
The purpose of the cooler is to keep the temperature of the power steering system fluid from rising to a level that would affect the performance of the
power steering system.
The cooler used on this vehicle is referred to as a fluid-to-air type cooler. This means that the air flow across the tubes of the cooler is used to extract
the heat from the cooler which it has absorbed from the power steering fluid flowing through it. Utilizing a small air dam mounted to its base to
redirect air across its coils, the cooler lowers the temperature of the power steering fluid prior to it entering the power steering fluid reservoir where it
is resupplied to the power steering pump.
