Pentosin

[kneale at knitknacks.com]

More than likely the missing fluid is filling the bellows surrounding the
steering rack.

I've found the red-top can at NAPA and other auto parts stores.

Unless you have a new reservoir, it's almost impossible to know what the
level inside is without taking off the cap or shining a light behind the
reservoir.  The plastic just gets too obscure.  I've had a couple of the
caps have broken wires in the connector that plugs onto the cap, so you do
not get the low level (red "brake" lite) signal.

More Audi problems!
 
My 200 sat in the cold for a few days, nothing new.  Started it up to  warm 
it up before going out to dinner.  Started to drive, noticed the power  
steering was a bit week for a few seconds, than worked fine.  Drove a few  
blocks and lost power steering and power brakes, (thought I herd a brief
gurgle  
behind the dash).  Drove back home, opened the hood no pentosin in the  
reservoir.  Checked and was full when filled with gas 100 miles ago.
 
I park out side, no puddle, rack and pump/hoses looked dry.   Added my 
spare liter of Pentosin, with car running, did not have another  can.  Can
not 
see any in the reservoir.  drove around the  block, power steering cam back 
quickly and power brakes after a few  stops and pumps.  Opened the hood and 
saw no obvious leeks, did  no crawl under the car, dark and cold outside, 
will do that tomorrow.
 
Two questions, is Pentosin G00200Red stocked by any local auto parts  
stores, (always bought on line in the past) , is there another brand that 
works?
 
Second, if I fill it up and no leeks, WTF happened?
 
Thanks, Pete
