Go in trunk; remove 4 screws from the pump cover (2 at either bottom corner, 2 at top close together) and remove that. There is a gold coloured nut sitting atop the now visible reservoir. Unscrew that. You can now top up the reservoir VERY slowly (use a small funnel otherwise the hydraulic oil will get everywhere) and reverse process when done. Only 5 minute job. THIS IS FOR A MK3 (93-98) I think its same for other models too, certainly MK4's.

Can it hurt the steering pump by putting oil in it?

YES. your power steering pump is a hydraulic pump that pushes fluid through lines to make your wheels move. hydraulic fluid such as ATF or POWER STEERING FLUID is good for your power steering pump. it is a PUMP after all. OIL has the purpose of lubricating, and has very different qualities than hydraulic fluid. DO NOT put OIL in your power steering pump... put POWER STEERING FLUID or if you can't get power steering fluid AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID will do...


How does a hydraulic pump create pressure?

A hydraulic pump creates pressure by converting mechanical energy from a motor into fluid flow energy. The pump forces fluid into the system, which causes the pressure to increase. The pressure builds up as the fluid is confined within the system, creating the necessary force for hydraulic applications.

What is transmission fluid used for?

Transmission fluid, like in automatic transmissions of cars, is used to transfer the power of the engine to the drive shaft. It's a hydraulic fluid, and the transmission is a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic drive all in one. The motor drives the pump (the torque converter), and it compresses the transmission fluid which in turn drives the clutch assembly.
