Re: Synthetic Fluids
Do not use any synthetic fluid in your power steering pump! I changed out everything in my 05 H2 with synthetic and 2 weeks after driving around I had to completly flush out the P/S fluid. With the synthetic fluid it would make funny noises and lock up on me when pushing the brake pedal. I was thinking it was the pump going bad so replaced it and put synthetic fluid back in. Didn't fix the problem - flushed it out and put regular fluid in it - works fine. Left the new pump on it but i am perty sure the fluid was the problem.
