Checking the power steering fluid level (Audi Q5-8R)

Do not start the engine and set the front wheels straight ahead. Oil when cold (approx. 20°C): Unscrew the cap. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth. Screw the cap on tightly by hand and unscrew it again. Only applies to measuring the oil level with the cap previously closed. Check the oil level: the oil level must be in zone "A".



Oil in working condition (approx. 80°C): Unscrew the cap. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth. Screw the cap on tightly by hand and unscrew it again. Only applies to measuring the oil level with the cap previously closed.

Check the oil level: the oil level should be in zone "B".

If the oil level is above the specified zone, pump out the oil. If the oil level is below the specified zone, check the hydraulic system for leaks. In this case, 1 oil top-up is not enough. Do not reuse the drained hydraulic oil.
