    Power Steering Fluid

    I noticed my power steering fluid is around the low level on the reservoir. What are people using to top theirs up? It definitely isn't ATF like the Japs/Australian cars use, I'm assuming it's hydraulic oil as is frequently used on ZF power steering setups (Audi, Volvo, etc)?


    Would be good if it is, seeing as I have some on the shelf!!

    The workshop manual specifies Texaco Cold Climate Fluid 33270.

    Here is an old thread - might have some clues.

    Hey Rich - how are your brake pads? As they wear, the pistons go further out which drops the brake fluid level. Sorry if I'm telling you "how to suck eggs"!

    Brake pad wear won't have any effect on the power steering fluid level though.

    We have one those where I work. It's called "spend too much time on forums and browsing the net during office hours, and we sack you, you lazy bugger"

    And back on the original topic, I've just bought the Penrite semi-synthetic PAS fluid today, so I can drain and refill my D3's power steering.

    Your first line distracted me!
    I have posted this a few times before and missed your comment above.
