6G91-3R700-B Power Steering Fluid Reservoir for FORD

The 6G91-3R700-B power steering fluid reservoir, cross-referenced with Ford service number 1377314, is associated with selected Mondeo, S-MAX and Galaxy hydraulic steering systems. The cylindrical tank stores oil above the pump feed and incorporates internal flow management for returning fluid.

A technical bulletin for this reservoir family highlights the internal filter as a service concern. For that reason, buyers and workshops should treat reservoir condition and system cleanliness as part of pump or steering-rack diagnosis rather than viewing the bottle as a cosmetic component.

Steering-Oil Storage and Return Management

The reservoir maintains a fluid reserve and gives returning oil time to release entrained air. Stable supply reduces the chance of pump cavitation during low-speed steering, while the cap and hose joints help keep the hydraulic circuit sealed from dirt and moisture.

Mondeo, S-MAX and Galaxy Fitment Check

Ford number 1377314 is referenced for Mondeo Mk4, S-MAX and Galaxy applications, including engine-specific conditions. Confirm 6G91-3R700-B on the original part, then compare production year, engine, hose sizes and bracket position.

Internal Filter and Pump Protection

A restricted mesh filter can reduce supply to the pump and contribute to noise or damage. During diagnosis, inspect fluid colour, filter condition, hose restriction and metal contamination. If pump failure has occurred, follow a complete flushing and contamination-control procedure.

Reservoir Acceptance Criteria

Verify a clean interior, secure base, even cap engagement and smooth hose nipples. The black lower flange should remain concentric with the tank body, and neither port should show crushing, flash or transit damage that could compromise hose sealing.

B2B Ordering and Traceability

Distributors can reference SKU FD01016-005 together with 6G91-3R700-B and 1377314. Share engine mix, expected volume, destination and carton-label needs so sample approval and batch traceability can be arranged efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Ford service number cross-references 6G91-3R700-B?

The workbook and catalogue references associate it with Ford service number 1377314.

Why should the internal reservoir filter be checked?

A blocked filter can restrict oil supply to the power steering pump and may contribute to noise, poor assistance or pump damage.

Does this reservoir fit every Ford Mondeo?

No. Fitment can depend on generation, engine and hydraulic steering configuration. Confirm the original OE number and VIN information.

What should be inspected after a pump failure?

Check for metallic debris, hose damage, cooler contamination and filter restriction, then follow the correct flush and refill procedure for the system.
