Power steering fluid vs. ATF

[fahrvergnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

IIRC, those cars call for Dexron ATF is what you were supposed to use, but
looking at ETKA says to use the G 002 000 fluid, the shizzle that Audi 5Ks
use in their hydraulics.  Perhaps this is why every PS VW I have driven has
been non-funtional?

I would go with the special fluid (made by Pentosin), but I would also flush
the system first.

Subject: Power steering fluid vs. ATF

Well after ten years, my '87 Scirocco is back on the road!!   Oh... what
a feeling!  :)  My wife said I was like a little kid on Christmas
morning!! Anyway, I have changed all the fluids except for the power
steering fluid.  The RB manual recommends Dexron or Dexron II ATF fluid.
My question is...what is the difference between ATF and power steering
fluid?  I am planning on putting in new Dexron III ATF unless someone
recommends something better.

Thanks,
Larry
