Location of power steering fluid reservoir for 2018 q7, 2.0t ?
 
I'm unable to find reservoir for q7 2018 2.0T under the hood. My car has 50k plus miles thus far and I was thinking, I should look at the condition of hydraulic fluid but I'm unable to locate the reservoir. What I'm missing ? Can someone please help ?

My 2018 3.0 power steering is electric, not hydraulic. I don't think there is a difference between 2.0 and 3.0 for steering.

Audi stopped using hydraulic power steering since around 2009. Everything is now electro-mechanical. Most others brands are doing the same. This change is needed to implement most driver assistance features.

I believe the electric steering rack is a maintenance-free system that requires total replacement in the event of a failure. Usually it's the electric motor that wears out.
