Power steering fluid
I just bought a 2003 TT coupe and did the timing belt, so I need to refill the reservoir. A couple questions:
1) I don't have an owners manual, but from searching I believe I need CHF 11S?
2) I see CHF11S bottles with a red top and with a white top (both green bottles, 11S). It seems like just packaging, but some reviews on Amazon claim they expected the red top can and got the white top can, and claimed they got ripped off. Are they the same?
3) The white topped bottle I have says it is G 002 000 compatible. Is that the right spec for this car? I saw in the timing belt writeup that I should use G 004 000 fluid (CHF 202?), but that seems like it's for newer cars.
4) Unfortunately the fluid in my car is sort of amber, and I guess it should be green. So while I'll probably just top it off with the green stuff for now, I guess I'll need to flush it in the future? Any chance I can unhook the hose at the reservoir and spin the pump with a drill to get most of it out?
Thanks

Rock, welcome aboard! You are going to need CHF 11S. The CHF 202 product is supposed to be used in newer cars, 2006MY and on.
If you just need a small amount, the dealers (VW or Audi) may still have the small topping off bottles.
Yes, the correct fluid has a very nice green color.
