[Mk2] [Turbo] power steering

Post by liamdavies »

Is there any type of fluid i should be using to top it up, or are they all the same.

Any PS fluid should be fine - halfrauds et al. Theoretically it would be better if the system was fully drained and filled with one type but in reality I doubt it makes any difference.

The MR2 has electric power steering, therefore you should use one suitable.

Toyota do their own EH fluid, but it's quite expensive (have a search on this site for the part number if you're interested).

I've heard of others using fluid for the Peugeot 307 as that also has electric PS, and the Peugeot fluid is a lot cheaper.


Here, cos I'm good...
