I've got this on the Avant... only comes up when the car has stood for a few days on initial start-up. Bomb test gets 50+ so perhaps I'll give the cap cleaning a try... do the test, if it gets a good mark I don't think you have to worry about it imminently.

I cleaned the cap yesterday and topped up the fluid to the max mark.
Seems to be sorted

This cap is the one for steering pump hydraulic fluid?

hydraulic fluid, the green one.S2Forum.com AdministratorComment

And how do we clean it?
With some type of solution?
Just the green thing or the whole reservoir?
Thanks.Last edited by CoCaine; 10 March 2010, 00:41.sigpicComment

I've ordered a new cap but it came wrong,it's too long.
They have the same part number but mine is shorter.
They told me that Audi don't make the short one's anymore..
So do I need to find the other reservoir,that's longer?
Has this happened to anyone?

I ve had this happen on quite a few coupes.
Seemed like the fluid was the first culprit, then the bombs.
Amazing number of people driving cars without right amount of fluid in-good bargaining point when buying the cars tho!Comment
