Default Flushing the Steering Fluid

Anyone know the procedure for flushing the steering fluid? Mine's a 97 and I don't think it has ever been done. The last thing I want to do is mess with my steering rack because of contaminated fluid.

Default Only did it on my old car.....

....I would refer to the bently, but basically just take the hose off the resevoir and catch the fluid that comes out....fill it up, run the car....turn the wheel lock to lock five times (best to do this while the front end is in the air).....then repeat....repeat....repeat.....

That's what I would do, on my 91 200q, the pump would spring so many leaks that it would do this for you automatically!

Green gold is what we called the fluid....something like $20/litre.
