Mineral Hydraulic Power Steering Fluid?

**KBB5** · 06-01-2009 07:16 PM

Hey guys just wondering where you get this stuff at, I got an 98 a4 quattro 1.8t and basically have no power steering fluid. Where do you get this stuff at? Is there a common place for leaks? Could I use mineraly tranny fluid instead? thanks

I just picked up the big bottle (about .75-1L) for $19 at the dealership. they had the small one for $11 but it was only about 1/4 as much volume wise.

mine seems to be leaking at the resovoir. i just got a new ps cooler [the 2 row kind that mounts to the rad]. all new lines and clamps should fix it

You can use Mobile 1 synthetic ATF, easy to find at local automotive. If you want to upgrade, pentosin chf, but hard to find you'll probably have to order it online.
