power steering issues!! Help please
« on: 12 May 2009, 11:33 »
Hi all,

I'm new here today!!

Although not my first Golf mk2 (g reg 1.8 gti)  This is the first time I have had a problem that I dont' know about!
I recently bought her not for looks but for how sweet the engine and drive is, I noticed pwr steering fluid around the reservoir so thought there must have been a leak.  I have run around now for a week and the pwr steering pump has just started to make a noise and sth steering a bit notchy when turn lock right when driving slow.
My q's are 
I have been told to drain all the fluid including the rack! whats the best way to do this??
I am about to order a new pump as G&S  rekon the seals will have gone and that the RED fluid isn't the correct grade!! Hence needing to drain the rack.
Thanks for your time  any advice would be great.

Glenn
