Title: FD Power Steering Question
Post by: philwhite on November 26, 2008, 02:43:47 PM
Hi,
 
My car has developed a little squeak (or chirp) sound on idle, its slightly louder when cold than hot. I\'ve had a look back thru the forum and it seems people with simliar issues in the past turned out to be the power steering pump or low on fluid.
 
My question is what fluid do I need (Just generic stuff?), and how much should I put in?
 
Cheers,
 
Phil.
