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.
