Parts for your 2017 Haval H6-Power steering pump

2017 Haval H6 power‑steering pump: what’s fitted and what owners should know

Based on Haval’s own technical literature, a conventional hydraulic power‑steering pump is not fitted to the 2017 Haval H6. The 2017 model uses an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system, which provides steering assist via an electric motor on the rack/column rather than a belt‑driven hydraulic pump. This is supported by Haval’s 2017 H6 owner’s manual and workshop documentation that describe EPS operation and list no power‑steering fluid or pump service items, as well as the Haval electronic parts catalogue for 2017 H6 variants showing an electric‑assist steering gear with no pump, hoses, or reservoir.

Why no pump? EPS trims weight and parasitic drag, which helps fuel economy and throttle response — a neat match for the H6’s turbocharged engines. It also enables smarter features like variable assist at different speeds and integrates neatly with stability control systems. With no hydraulic fluid, hoses or seals to worry about, there’s less routine maintenance and fewer leak points under the bonnet.

For owners, that means there’s no power‑steering fluid to top up and no pump to replace as part of regular servicing. Instead, care shifts to simple checks that keep the EPS happy: healthy battery voltage, clean electrical grounds, and up‑to‑date steering angle calibrations after wheel alignments or suspension work. If the steering ever feels heavy or inconsistent, look for an EPS warning on the dash, check tyre pressures, and have a scan tool read any stored fault codes rather than hunting for a non‑existent pump or reservoir.

• Typical EPS care tips: keep the battery and charging system in good nick, ensure alignment is within spec, avoid holding full lock for extended periods when stationary, and inspect rack boots for damage during services.
• Signs to investigate: steering warning light, intermittent assist, or unusual noises from the steering rack area. These call for a diagnostic scan and a visual inspection of wiring/connectors, not a fluid top‑up.

A quick way to verify on your H6: under the bonnet you won’t find a power‑steering fluid reservoir or hydraulic lines to the rack. If a parts listing shows a pump “for H6 2011–2017”, it’s often referencing earlier or different‑market H6 variants that used hydraulic systems — the mainstream 2017 H6 spec runs EPS.

Popular questions

Does a 2017 Haval H6 have a power‑steering pump?
No. The 2017 H6 is equipped with Electric Power Steering, so there’s no hydraulic pump, reservoir, or fluid service. If you’re unsure, look under the bonnet — no fluid reservoir and no pump driven by the accessory belt means EPS.

What steering maintenance does a 2017 H6 actually need?
There’s no fluid change or pump service. Focus on battery health, clean earth points, correct tyre pressures, and periodic inspections of the steering rack boots and tie‑rod ends. After alignments or a battery disconnect, a steering angle sensor calibration may be required using a scan tool.

Why do some parts sites list a power‑steering pump for the H6?
Listings often span multiple generations and markets. Some earlier H6 variants used hydraulic assist, but the 2017 model commonly sold with EPS doesn’t. Always cross‑check by VIN and confirm whether your vehicle has a fluid reservoir or hydraulic lines before ordering parts.
