S3 Location of Power Steering Reservoir?

[simonjriley]

Hi,

I have just recently started to get some creaking from the power steering on my 1999 Audi S3.

I checked the owners manual for the location of the power steering reservoir so I can check the level and it helpfully tells me it is located on the right of the engine bay but there is no picture to show me where to look for it

I have had a good look under the bonnet but cannot find it, I have a feeling it is under once of the famous black Audi covers.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Drivers side against the wing.
Think its under a cover, look for a plastic looking screw that has a metal screw inside of it, to remove the cover.

Fluid level wont cause creaking though.

It's the under the black plastic cover the goes over the coolant.

It has a green plastic top.

Leave the plastic off. It serves no purpose except on the battery. I'm running a naked engine bay now.
