Re: Power Steering Fluid



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).

Subject: Power Steering Fluid


The power steering pump on my 16v is starting to make some noise like it's
low on fluid.  Since I've basically done nothing with this unit sine I've
had to car, I think a flush and change of fluid is in order.  Any
suggestions on a flush agent and/or fluid?  TIA.
