Video tutorial

In this video, you can see where the power steering fluid reservoir is located in the Volkswagen Golf, useful in case you need to top it up. As shown, the reservoir is positioned inside the engine bay, right in front of the coolant reservoir, and is easily identifiable by the presence of a steering wheel embossed on the cap. Before topping up the fluid, ensure the vehicle is off and cold, and also wear protective gloves as it is a highly corrosive substance that is harmful to health.
