hi, im worried about the new audi a4 tq (98) i purchased, i found a normal power steering fluild container in boot i asked the owner of the car, he said he had toped it off with normal fluid, i strait away drained the p/s fluid and put audi fluid in there, but i want to know how much damage has this done? is there a way to find out?
thanx

It really depends on how much and how long it was in there, but as long as you drained it i dont think theres much more that you can do..... If the ps pump dies at least you know why but hopefully youll get lucky and it didnt cause to much damage

Well, the second question is why he had to top up the fluid? Was it leaking already?
When you said you drained the fluid out, did you just empty the reservoir, or did you disconnect the hoses and drain the entire system?
