danmcl Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hiya, how did you find out what it needs? and when is it supposed to be changed? i think mine could do with a change on my TDiAccording to the halfords lookup table it needs LHM fluid, which apparently is the same as the brake fluid in a Citroen Xantia!I've just topped mine up as it was a bit low, if it makes my car die I know what the boyo in halfords looks like and I will go looking for him!

It is the same colour as the power steering fluid so that may well be true then.Thanks for that info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how much was it?NOCKDon't know if was any good yet style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> but it was 6.99 or 7.99 I just have a halfords handy and got paid today, noticed it was a bit low earlier last week and made a note of it as something to do when I got paid.On another bit I had a sh*t day with the remote central locking that some cowboys put in for my missus when we were both a bit naieve about the car and their reputability, ended up with the car not locking properly at all, me having to strip the doors in my works car park and spend my lunch hour putting them back together without any proper tools and people annoying me constantly....Once I get back from 'merica I will be fitting a new alarm with remote start, central locking and a boot popper so I can get my boot smoothed, was thinking on getting an arosa bootlid and doing the painting etc myself, gives me an excuse to buy new tools!

cardaft Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Well we have loads of LHM kicking around in the garage, but im going to ask VW before i do anything, sounds a bit dodgey to me style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
