Power Steering Fluid

Can anyone tell me what power steering fluid is required for an 08 3.0 diesel? Are the many different types like engine oil, or should most of the the VAG range use the same? I've to leave the wife's car off in VW here so was hoping to get some there.

I believe it should be the stuff with the "green lid", and also found reference VW/Audi G 002 000/TL52146 online but not sure if either of these pieces of info are correct!

It's now called G00 4000.

Should be green. used in every Audi since 1986

Good man, cheers. I went ahead and go that from VW earlier so I'm glad it was the right move!

Generic name is CHF11S (Central Hydrauic Fluid) a green fluid.
Eurocarparts, GSF and other motor factors carry it, even Halfords carry it but same price as dealer.
