The power steering reservoir is located in the engine compartment in front of the battery.
The power steering system is factory filled with hydraulic oil to specification VW G 002 000.
Checking the oil level is carried out with the engine not running, but warmed up.
To control the oil level, there are marks on the tank (outside) and on the probe, which is attached to the screw cap of the tank (from within). The oil level should be between the max and min marks. If the level has dropped to the minimum mark, have the hydraulic booster checked at a service station - just adding oil is not enough.
