Re: 4kq ps fluid - Pentosin or ATF?



Thanks to all that have responded about my power steering inquiry.  The
general consensus seems to be that red is ATF and green is Pentosin
7.1.  It's hard to judge the color of the fluid inside the reservoir,
but I got my fingers wet and it seems to be clear (?).  How green is the
Pentosin - dark green or very light green?  I've had the car for more
than 4 years without any problems, so I don't think it has the wrong
fluid in.  Could this clear fluid be some sort of synthetic Audi ATF? 
Eric Fluhr - you mentioned your brother's '87 CGT had the sticker but
used clear/blueish ATF?  It's possible the PO replaced the reservoir at
some point with a later part that had the Pentosin sticker, even though
the car used ATF.  Any thoughts?
