The power steering fluid level can be checked when the vehicle is cold or when it is hot during operation (~50°C). It is recommended to check the power steering fluid level when the vehicle is cold.

On a vehicle that has not been driven, with the engine off, set the front wheels to move straight ahead.

Execution order



1. Unscrew the cap from the power steering fluid reservoir.

2. Wipe the dipstick located at the bottom of the cover with a clean cloth.

3. Screw the cap on and off again.

The original text is available on the website: www.VWmanual.ru

4. Check the fluid level, which should be near the MIN mark (see Fig. Power Steering Fluid Level Dipstick). The permissible deviation of the liquid level on the dipstick from the MIN mark is ±2 mm.



Add fresh fluid if necessary.

Do not allow the power steering fluid reservoir to become empty.

5. Screw the cap onto the power steering reservoir.

6. Perform a test drive, during which the power steering fluid warms up to a temperature of approximately 50°C. Check the fluid level, which should be between the MIN and MAX marks.
