Lhd, clipper -92, power steering fluid.

Hello,

My car is lhd clipper -92. Problem is power steering witch is very stiff. I look car own original manual and its say that oil should be ATF-g 00200. Whats that ? Atf or vw own 00200 ? My current oil is brown, i think it will need to be change and maybe be problem for stiff steering ?

Sorry for bad english

if the cap on your reservoir is red then red Dexron II ATF fluid is what you need. if its green then you use the green fluid that VW sell.

another clue is the colour of the old fluid, though if its really old its hard to know if it used to be red or green

if you put green in a system that was on red then often it will leak as the seals 'get used' to the fluid plus green is a little thinner.  pretty sure going the other way is ok, but not 100%

worst case if you renew all the pipe seals and the rack itself isnt leaking you can use either fluid the pump and rack internals are the same either way
