    Hi, there is a slight whirring sound from the steering. Just checked the levels and it's below minimum, so as a first port of call I'd like to top it up to see if this helps.
    I can't seem to find anything in the manual or a definitive answer via Google on what fluid is correct for my car.
    It's a 1999 VW Bora TDI 110.
    Hope you can help.

    The fluid you need is VW part number G 004 000 02 for a 1 litre bottle, so to CHF 11S standard, i.e. VW 52416, ZF TE-ML 02K, what I call Citroen blood. My Octavia 1 uses the same rack and a couple of weeks ago spat the system contents out of the right boot, I brought home two litres of Febi 06161 (the synthetic version) on Friday night so I can try and get it to work without calling my recovery chap... I have a brand new ZF Lenk System (now a Bosch group company) rack sitting on my desk at work, so sexy it is a shame to fit it. When I put it is I am using a brand new powder coated subframe and Febi wishbones, Powerflex bushes... just need to find the time to do it!

    Hi again, just checked the colour of the fluid, and it's yellowish, similar to new engine oil or sunflower oil.
    Do I need to top up using another yellow one, as some are described as green or red.
    The filler cap is green colour.
    Thanks

    Sounds like you need to do a decent flush using a few L .

    £7.99 per L with a trade card .

    Wow that's a big difference, seems like it may be worth doing a flush and refill.
    How many litres will be enough?
