Power steering fluid level is checked at the power steering fluid resevoir. It is located on the passenger side in front of engine. If you can't find it follow the hoses up from the power steering pump wich is on the passenger side of the car mounted on the front ( facing the passenger side wheel well ) and bottom of the motor.
Yes, Most Cabriolets do have power steering, but there are a few that don't. In my opinion you dont need it anyway. It is such a light little car. I took my power steering out of my '86 Cabriolet and installed a manual rack, because it was cheaper. The P.S. pump alone runs about $200 and the rack runs about another $150. I bought a new manual rack for $105. It steers very easily even when sitting still.
power steering fluid is fluid that makes the power steering pump work and it goes in the power steering pump under the hood.
The power steering fluid recommended is Mopar
Remove the plug on the bottom of the power steering fluid pump. Drain the power steering fluid out. Replace the plug to the bottom of the power steering pump. Replace the power steering fluid.
Power steering fluid from any auto parts store will work great in a 2002 (or any) vw Beetle. Don't have to spend big money at the dealer-its the same.
