Power Steering Fluid Confusion
I have noticed that my fluid level has dropped slightly and I was going to top it up ,The tope of the cap says Mineral Oil only ,so I done a search and found the Green mineral Oil ,but when I entered my reg number in eurocarparts it came back with Green synthetic Oil. Do I follow the cap instructions or go with the synthetic...I dont want to screw up my rack ..anyone help ?

I got 3 bottles from my local Audi dealer when I did the power steering fluid change. From memory it was something like £8 per bottle.
Unless its a huge price difference just get a bottle from Audi and have peace of mind.

Believe the cap. All hail the hallowed cap. How shall we serve you hallowed cap? Shall we do what it says?
 Sorry, had a Python moment there!
