RE: Power Steering Fluid

["Rick Kellner" <rfkellner@snet.net>]

Al, is the power steering fluid that is typically available at a FLAPS
acceptable or does VW require a special fluid?
Thanks, Rick.

a whining pump will not be corrected by any fluid changes. once they get
to 
the whining point, they will stay that way until replaced. the plus side

here is that i've never seen one grenade or anything drastic like that.
that all said, it always helps to periodically change out the power
steering 
fluid, as its an unfiltered system. there is this orange bottle stuff
i've 
used. its marketed as a stop leak, but it does so by softening/expanding
old 
seals. i've had this work near-magic on a leaking rack (going strong
still 
for 2+ years, and i still have torn boots - still no leakage).
