Default Power Steering Fluid
Per the manual, why ATF Dexron for Carrera and CHF 11s for turbo? I know most folks including myself have switched over to Pentosin 202. It's a synthetic compatible with all prev P/S fluids.

and in the Turbo?

(don't forget the extra functions the P/S pump has to perform on the Turbo).

Cheers,

Mike

The 11 superceeds to the 202, good for all applications including your turbo Mike!

I slurped mine out yesterday, and it was very clean reddish ATF. Refilled with Pentosin 202. It will take several cycles to use up the entire liter.
