Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    T5 08 2.5 TDI Losing steering fluid and damaged steering boot/gaiter

    HiI have a T5 08 2.5 TDI 4motion with 158000 KMI noticed that the steering was making quite a bit of noise suddenly.No lights on the dashboard.I checked the steering reservoir and was 1/3 full so I got some Penrite LHM Plus and filled it up.A week or so later it started to make the same noise so I looked around and I found that the steering boot is damaged.Do you guys know if the leak is just from the boot or is there more to it than that?PC

    Seal failure in the rack. It'll need to be rebuilt.
