What Type of Power Steering Fluid?
I did a search but found a lot of back-and-forth with no solid conclusions...So, here's the deal...I'm a tad low on power steering fluid...
Yeah, I know...Sergio jinxed me and now I, too, am probably in for a replacement on a steering rack...BUT...I don't have time to deal with it for a couple of weeks....
Question: What type of fluid can I use to top up the resevoir and if its "Pentosin CF11S" where do I get it?
Thanks in advance...

What's in the reservoir now? If it is red, it is Dexron III ATF, available anywhere. If light green, the CHF 11S is the ticket, often available at local VW or Audi dealers, if not NAPA . If colourless, perhaps it is Febi/Bilstein S6161, a full synthetic equal to the 11S. I use the S 6161.
Do not use the mineral oil base CHF 7S ( dark green)
