Steering System - Power: Maintenance Audi A4 B5 facelift

FLUID TYPE

Recommended fluid type is hydraulic oil or power steering fluid No. G 002 000.

FLUID LEVEL CHECK

Note. DO NOT re-use drained hydraulic fluid.

With front wheels in straight-ahead position, run engine at idle for 2 minutes. Stop engine (switch off ignition) and remove cap with dipstick. When engine is cold, fluid level must be in area of "MIN" marking, up to 0.08" (2 mm) above or below marking. When engine is at operating temperature, fluid level must be between "MIN" and "MAX" markings.

Note. If there is too much fluid in reservoir, fluid must be extracted. If there is not enough fluid, it is not sufficient to just top off fluid; hydraulic system must also be checked for leaks.
