Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi; I need to add power steering fluid. Porsche owner book says use Pentosin CHF 11S. I found on the net Pentosin CHF 202. Is this the same stuff? Can I mix 202 with 11S fluid? Thanks for your help.

POST 2Original post

You can use automatic transmission fluid. At least that is what Cecil on ppbb told me 100 years ago. You can find him here. http://www.ppbb.com/board/986board.htm I called him on it and got banned from ppbb over 7 years ago, for this and other stuff. This is what you need. You can mix them together.

POST 3Original post

I had the same question once. IIRC, read the outside of the fluid type you have. i think it references the other one (at least mine did). My guess is you are just "topping" off anyway, correct? Be careful.. for me I thought the "tank" filled up quickly.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
