Dee,
I see you mention that the pump has been replaced. I am assuming you used
fresh (Pentosin, or similar high quality) PS fluid to replace this? As a
side note, of course you cannot mix the traditional and sythetic PS fluids.
Also, make sure the system is not overfull.

Subject: [a2-16v-list] Power Steering Problem
Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2003 20:09:42 -0700 (PDT)
Has anyone had the problem of power steering fluid becoming aerated in
about 15 seconds after startup? There are no visible leaks and pump has
been replaced. There seems to be way too much flow into the reservoir from
the rack. If the engine is revved to 2000 RPM or so for 20 seconds and
then allowed to return to idle, the fluid will blow out of the vent hole in
the cap higher than the hood when it is open.
the car is 1992 GTI 16V with about 105k. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
