In DESPERATE NEED OF HELP! Does anyone in Arlington VA have VW mineral PS Fluid??

Mikey's Satty · May 18, 2006

I know this is a crazy post, but my girlfriend is taking the car on a 300+ mile trip tomorrow, and her ps fluid is below the min level on the stick. In fact, its so low that it doesnt even register on the stick at all.

So, does anyone in Arlington, VA or newarby surrounding areas have any fluid that I could buy off them tonight? I dont need much, just enough to get her to an acceptable level.

I'll happily pay cash to anyone who can help me out.

I'll be up until about nidnight or so, so just hit me up, and Ill do whatever it takes.

Thanks a million for listening to my crazy request.

CALL AAA:thumbup: :thumbup:

Do you really think they will have the proper type of fluid? I was thinking about just getting the standard hydraulic ps fluid that you can get at the grocery store, but from what I read here, that stuff will kill your seals.

Do you really think AAA will have the right stuff? WOuld be fantastic if they did.

Which way is she going? If she is headed north on 95, PM me and I will give you my phone #. I can help her top up the PS fluid on the rest stop on 95 in DE.

I'd help ya out, but I'm about 3000 miles away

Just have her go to a VW dealer on the way and get some.... I'm sure someone at the dealer can give her a hand if she isn't comfortable with the easy task.

I paid around $11 for a 12oz container from the local stealer. You won't find it anywhere else and don't use anything but VW G12 PS fluid!

G12 PS fluid? N/M

go to any mechanic shop that specialize in german cars, they will have it

most likely will hook you up for free as well

Wal-Mart most certainly does NOT have the proper PS fluid. The B5 requires either official VW fluid or Pentosin CHF-11S. That means you can only get it from a dealer, mail order, import auto parts specialist, or an indy specializing in VW/Audis.

Mikey's Salty, sorry bro! You might have to wait until morning and stop by an Audi, BMW, or Volkswagen Dealer's parts department to pick this stuff up.

Good luck,
