Passat 2002 v6 steering fluid deposit

Green mineral oil. Available from the agents.

you can use reg,power steering fluid or transmission fluid they both cost about the same but on the safe side use power steering fluid.

Hi!!

The Power Steering pump is located in the front of the engine usually on the right side, and is driven by a belt, on top of the pump there is a screw-on cap about 2" in diameter that says POWER STEERING FLUID, integrated on the cap, is the dip stick, make sure not to overfill PS deposit.

Dont forget to rate this post!!!

I would check the fluid level and the power steering belt, if those are ok, you may need a new power steering pump.

I'd guess wheel bearing is bad.

if power steering fluid is bubbly, means that its sucking air somewhere before(sucking side) (or on) power steering pump. that would explain the noise. Check (when cold) fluid level. if level is low, top up before starting the car. had a lot of cars that high preasure hose was leacking fluid on restricting valve. if so, fluid comes out on the end of protecting cover of the hose. (driver side on spark plugs and down the engine). replace hose with original. do not try to make it your self, becouse steering wheel will shake, sinse restracting valve is missing.
But if you press brake pedal, that has nothing to do with it.

Mineral power steering fluid only from dealer $30, 1 gal
other oils have been causing the pump not to operate
properly on 99+ passat, jetta, golf, 99+ a4, a6, a8 .

Take a picture of it before you take it apart so you know where everything goes.
1.Take belt off
2. Unbolt any bracket that the power steering pump is bolted too.( only if you have to unbolt a bracket)
3. Disconnect lines from steering pump
4. After replacing power steering pump fill with Auto. trans fluid.
5. After filling start car and turn wheel left and right a few times this will get the air out of the system and recheck fluid level.

I dont know the model but maybe it is an electric servo device or it use the same tank as for the brake fluid...(?)

The resovior is on the drivers side near the fender, it has a green cap on it. Use only VW fluid or you will have huge problems.
