Kind of embarrassed to ask this, but how does one check and add to the power steering fluid in B4's?
Thanks. Guy who serviced our cars retired, so I'm catching up on the maintenance stuff. How does one perform the drainage?Reservoir by the battery. You've never checked, added or flushed your fluid since 2000?

That's nice to know, thanksNote you can get the proper fluid really cheaply from Fibi these days. Even carquest has it for like $16 a bottle.

Ray, my B3V took a whole quart when it was refilled after engine / trans conversion.I need to do this too in two cars. How much fluid is needed per car?
Thanks,
Ray
If that's a quart per car then yes, if that's two quarts per car that's excessive. The capacity for the system is listed in Bentley as being .74-.95 US quarts.If you're flushing the system out I'd get 2 quarts. If nothing else you'll have some on hand.

I think replacing the fluid is a good idea, but since I had never read that there was a replacement schedule for this I checked and there isn't one.
