Peugeot 309 Power Steering Fluid

Unread post by Gsbx1220 »

Hi,

What is the correct PAS fluid for 1993 309?

Halfords website recommends comma MVCHF fluid, but my gut feeling is that it is just standard PAS fluid such as Comma PSF.

Car is recently acquired, so just changing all fluids.

Cheers,

Richard

I couldn't find the answer on my Peugeot backup but a call to a Peugeot dealer's parts department should get you the answer. :)

I strongly suspect that as the 309 was actually a legacy Simca model that it would be ordinary PSF (power steering fluid).
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

If it helps, Its red in colour and smells slightly fishy.

Correct. Ordinary PSF is what you want, its available anywhere.

Thanks,

Checked Comma website & they recommend standard fluid too.

Just dont want to balls up the steering system.
