Lukey. 381 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 power steering has to be VW spec G000200 you cannot use any other fluid or atf in them. Pentosin makes this for VW and you can get pentosins own branded version of this which is also synthetic opposed to VW spec mineral oil.comma also make compatible fluid called CHF 11S, but i wouldnt even put comma screenwash in my car.Power Steering Fluid Capacity max 0.8Ltheres another one, screenwash, capacity 4L :-) Link to post Share on other sites
