Right popped in the factors and got antifreeze and pas fluid for the Doka.June 96 on an N reg. When i got to the yard i noticed i'd got normal red pas oil. I rang em back and the lad i dealt with reckoned it listed red but a lot a folk change to green if the systems been drained down. For S49 its listed as the green so he may have a point. I checked the bottle on the truck and to be fair there are traces of red in it.Does that blow the myth of green cap green fluid? Bare in mind i've never seen a T4 with any other colour PAS cap than green. Thoughts folks before i put the red in?

VW Tech Bulletin 48-89-T07
This was issued in Nov 1989.
It states, "The new synthetic VW quality specification TL 52 146.00, OE part number G 002 000 A2 or CHF11s] and old power steering fluid [non-synthetic CHF 7.1 OE part number A0E 041 020 10] can be mixed if necessary."
So according to VW, you can mix the 2 Volkswagen hydraulic power steering fluids. Even though the composition of the fluid changed from a synthetic base oil vs a non-synthetic mineral oil.
1980-1989 VW models came filled from the factory with OE part number A0E 041 020 10 or CHF 7.1 mineral based fluid.
1990-2005 VW models were filled from the factory with the synthetic VW spec TL 52 146.00, OE part number G 002 000 A2 or CHF11s.
2006-current VW hydrailic power steering fluid systems are filled with the fully synthetic VW TL 52 146.01, G 004 000 A2, CHF202 spec.
Important Note:Â Never mix generic power steering fluid or other fluid with VW power steering fluid (G002000) or CHF202 (G004000).Â
