Power steering fluid, brake warning light and visor lights.

[vma99r]

I have just bought a 2.5 v6 tdi S line and I am very pleased with it, three very small questions. 1. The power steering fluid is a bit low, I have looked in the handbook and it says only to use "special hydraulic fluid" what is so special about it and whare can I find it? (The hand book says the cap is green but it is grey) 2. Some times not always the big brake warning sign lights up when you start the engine and then goes out. 3. The sun visor lights do not work, no big deal on the last question but it would be nice if they worked. Any help on any of the above will be greatly welcomed, Just one more thing can any one recommend a good workshop manual. Thanks Pete.

The colour of the P.S.cap denotes what type of oil you fill it with.In your case it will be the GREEN oil you use,the reservoir usually states the oil type.The other oil would be RED,meaning ATF,which as the name suggests is a red coloured oil.
