Pentosin

[Ed Kellock]

My local Napa carries Pentosin as does another local import parts store.  I
have a pail of Chevron Rykon 32 that I use.  If you can find 16, that's a
closer match to the viscosity of Pentosin.  The 32 causes the steering to
feel a bit stiff for the first few minutes of driving when outside temps are
good and cold.  I also use Mobil 1 Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid.
I've used it in 4 V8's and my 200q20v Avant, with no negative issues.

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
