Answer;The Power Steering fluid I put for a 1996 Audi is; CHF 11S , From PENTOSIN
( Made in Germany )
green
On an Audi A4, the power steering fluid reservoir is located in front of the coolant tank. It appears as a square-shaped black container with a green cap.
no. Audi uses a CHF type fluid, and is incompatible with an ATF type fluid like the lucas PSSL
Pentosin.
I have purchased the ATF 1 transmission fluid for my Audi A6 1996.
MUST BUY FROM AUDI DEALER. fUEL CONTAINS MINERAL OIL AND IS NOT SOLD IN PARTS STORE. DO NOT DRIVE IF RESERVOIR IS EMPTY. ADVICE FROM DEALER
I'm no mechanic, but it sounds like you are low on power steering fluid, check it out...
Atf is fine for use in power steering except for Honda (requiring Honda fluid), and Audi (requiring mineral 7.1 or 11s) The major difference between atf and p/s fluid is that atf has friction modifers. harmless for hydrulics, nessacary for transmissions to shift smooth.
How to replace power steering pump on Audi
No. Get the Pentosin CHF 7.1 and CHF 11S fluids or Audi VW power steering hydraulic fluid part number G 002 000 or you may want Bilstein 08972. It is a select non-synthetic hydraulic steering fluid which has similar properties to CHF 11S with the exception of synthetic mineral oil blend vs non-synthetic mineral oil blend and thus, should be changed more frequently.
2 quarts, it should take about 1.5 qt. during a flush/fill.
In the container in front of the windshield container. It should be on the right corner (facing the front of the car)
