Power steering fluid 850

posted by  someone claiming to be John W on  Tue Mar 18 05:33 CST 2003 [RELATED]

How much of this Hydraulische oil do I need to empty and refill? I purchased a can at a garage just to top off the resevoir as it was a little low. The smallest can he sold me was one liter. I might as well flush it or at best, empty & refill as I don't want that jerry can sitting around. My concern is when I left the store and got home it looks like the gunk is Green, not red. Can I top it off ie mix the two, or should I Empty & refill?

The product is called GHF 11S, I believe it is a Deutze product for German auto's. Is it good for my Swede?

Thanks again.

    Sounds like you purchased "Pentosin',a hydraulic fluid VW and Audi use.
    NOT compatible!
    ATF is used.

    check http://www.volvospeed.com and follow the repair/maintenance link. I guess there you might have a better explanation on how to flush. I think the whole flushing can be done with 1,5 liter of fluid.

      The repair/maintenance page of http://www.volvospeed.com link doesn't have the instruction to do a power steering fluid flush. I had asked Rich to include the procedure, but still not done yet.

      People should check the message board of the http://www.volvospeed.com link to find the flush procedure.
