Description
Mk2 Scirocco Power Steering Reservoir Filter
Firstly, to ensure your Mk2 Scirocco remains reliable and stays on the road for many years to come, it is absolutely vital to maintain the cleanliness of your power steering system. Secondly, the hydraulic components in these vintage Volkswagens are sensitive to debris, we strongly recommend replacing your Power Steering Reservoir Filter every 50,000. This is because it is a core part of your routine maintenance schedule.
Next, the importance of this simple service cannot be overstated; since brand-new factory power steering racks are no longer available, preserving your existing rack is the only way to avoid a costly and difficult manual steering conversion or a risky used-parts hunt. Fourthly, by keeping your power steering fluid free of microscopic contaminants and metal shavings, you are effectively shielding the internal seals and gears of the rack from premature failure.
Fortunately, we provide Genuine OES filters, which are precision-manufactured in Germany by Mann-Filter. By choosing these high-performance components, you are guaranteed to receive the exact same quality, flow rate, and perfect fitment that originally came on your Scirocco from the factory.
