508 2,0 HDi Power Steering Fluid?

Unread post by northrol »

Dear Forum,
I have searched but to no avail.

I have a 2013 508 2,0 HDi RHF (DW10BTED4) and my power steering fluid is running low - I know now where the leak is so that is not the problem.
The thing is that I need to fill it up. Here, I got two options - red or green. My fluid is more brownish ... My initial thought was to use a siphon to empty it from top and fill it up - but how to know what to use as it will probably have some left in it. Please see attached photos. The arrows points to where the leak is and where it runs down. It is "a lot" of fluid left, but it's barely on the dip stick.

Kindest regards
Martin Ljunggren, Sweden

You need Total Fluide DA or LDS exclusively for the Power Steering Circuit on this model and engine and it is a brown / orange colour.

Don't use anything else!

Thank you so much for your quick reply.

Is it this oil you are referring to? What happens if it is say DA and I pour in LDS? Are they mixable to your knowledge?

As Darren says, they are the exact same with just a name change.
