My question is, where can I get a good quality Power Steering Fluid (G00200) for my 1998 Audi A4 Quattro?

Mine is below the minimum right now and I really need to get it asap!

Also, is it OK to add the new fluid or should I flush the previous one and then put the new one in?

And unfortunately I have no idea what type is in there right now, like if it is synthetic mineral or base

 

Audi/VW dealership since they use hydraulic fluid rather than PS fluid.

 

Best deal I got was from VW dealer (Seattle). I bought 2 L, wanted to do full flush because I was not sure what was in there.

 

The fluid you need is CHF7S - this is mineral based p/s fluid for VW/Audi.

It is available at any good foreign auto parts store as well as dealers.

You can also use CHF11S - this is the synthetic version.

The synthetic and mineral versions are compatible with eachother, so if you don't know what you have, you can add either.

Flushing is recommended every few years.

Best of luck

 

Thanks a lot everyone for the valuable information! I am probably gonna buy it online since stores like autozone or carquest don't carry it.

Appreciate it a lot!!!

 

FYI:

I went to the dealership yesterday and they added the amount that I needed for free

One thing I was hearing a squeaky noise in front of the engine and apparently it was b/c of the low level of power steering fluid. I thought it was belt or something. Cuz now it is gone.

 

Just to clarify - CHF7S was used in pre 1988 Audis, has a lower operating temp range and is not recommended for post 1990 Audis. If you have the choice get the 11S. Siricospeed is right in that they can be mixed however.
