7.1 and 11s are not interchangeable nor compatible with each other from what i understand.

This was after i took off the clamps and replaced the whole fluid in the system.. Im pretty sure that the bubbles ceased. If there are still bubbles, what should i do?

I didn't think it would work but simply replacing the metal washers at the two lines coming into the pump fixed mine. Its the banjo bolt and supply hose. 5 bucks from audi and a 20 min job.

there is the line on the top of the pump that leads to the steering rack and the supply line that goes into the right side of the pump. Use only 11s fluid!!!!!!!!!!!
