Best steps for maintaining Power-Steering Fluid Levels in your V

Power Steering Fluid : Checking power steering fluid on most cars is easy, though not all cars have it. If you can parallel park with one hand and eat an ice cream cone with the other, then you have power steering. Checking the power-steering fluid level regularly can help improve the life of your vehicle and prevent costly damage caused by leaks in the system, while also ensuring that your vehicle is safe on the road. Here are the steps to check your power steering fluid: 1.Park your VW Jetta on a level surface before checking fluid levels to ensure an accurate reading, and take note of whether the engine is hot or cold before reading the power-steering fluid level, since the levels of hot and cold fluids differ. 2. Locate the belts. The power steering pump is driven by a pulley and a belt and has a clear plastic or metal (usually round) reservoir on top of it. The power steering cap will often say "power steering". 3. Add fluid if necessary. Use only the proper type of power steering fluid for your VW. Check your car's owner's manual and the bottle. Some cars require power steering fluid specifically designed for that car, as for example Pentosin 11S (Hydraulic Fluid 11S Synthetic Base, CHF 11.S) is a well known Power Steering Fluid for Jeeta 4.Inspect the entire power-steering system when you add fluid to check for broken, worn or loose parts that may result in a leak. Replace any faulty parts immediately, as hot fluid leaking into the engine will result in severe damage.
