Subject:TSB Concerning Vanagon Steering Racks
From:kenneth wilford (Van-Again)

Yesterday I was speaking with a shop about installing a rebuilt Vanagon
steering rack.  The mechanic insisted that there was a TSB concerning
changing from Dexron ATF for the power steering fluid to the mineral oil
bases power steering fluid that was used in some Audis back in the 80s.
 Does anyone know anything about this?  I have always used the ATF and
never had a problem.  When I get the Maval racks from the factory they have
red fluid in them which I assume is ATF.  So if they are using it for
testing, I am also assuming that the rebuilder would want you to use ATF in
the system as well.

If anyone can shed some light on this or dig up the TSB for me to read it
would be much appreciated.  If you have ALL-DATA it should be in there.
