All,
Can regular el-cheapo brand P/S fluid be used in an '85 GTI? I've got a leak that I'm
not going to fix until its warm enough to crawl around under the car, but if it got
suddenly worse could I use any old PS fluid in a pinch?
Yep, I believe they didn't switch to the $$$pecial p/s fluid until
mid-89. So you should be OK with regular ATF. Someone also told me once
that if your p/s reservoir cap is red, you can use regular ATF, and if
it's green, you need the special stuff from VW.
Cheers,
Oleg
