Power steering fluid - which one?

[chrisgreen]

Hi

 

Does anyone know what power steering fluid is used in the Rapid? Servicing in a couple of weeks and figured it might be time for either a flush or a top-up.

 

Thanks

You need a fluid that meets the VW 4000 spec, this is the same as CFH 202.

 

So the CFH 202 from Fuchs will be ideal https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-87379-fuchs-titan-was-pentosin-chf-202-hydraulic-fluid.aspx?VariantID=136406

 

Cheers,

Thanks for this info Guy - will be ordering in a moment. BTW - does the same fluid requirements apply for the power steering on the Mk2 Fabia 1.2HTP  (just wondering if I can use the same fluid on that come its service time).

 

Thanks
