Audi S3 8V Power Steering Fluid
Discussion
Can anyone confirm where the power steering fluid resv is on the 8v engine?
Firstly , I know my way around a spanner, however, embarrassingly I'm afraid I can't find it in the engine bay at all, no reference to it on the web, or in the manual strangely. Mind you there are a few odd quirks with this car such as no changeable fuel filter or changeable filter on the Haldex v unit....
Can't find any reference to the manual gearbox oil change intervals either.

It has electric power steering, so does not have fluid like the older hydraulic systems.
It does have a fuel filter and a Haldex filter but VAG no longer see them as a service item. You can of course change for your own peace of mind.
The same goes for the oil in manual gearbox, there is no service interval to change it. It is seen as sealed for life but again you can change it you want.

Great thanks
It sounds similar to my A6 Tiptronic gearbox Audi say is sealed for life, when I checked with ZF transmissions they recommended a change at 75k, as I keep my cars for many years I got it changed! Its a shame Audi don't know their own products. How can a filter not require changing if the oil does ...
