Default unfortunately...doing the usual searching to get the p/n...found one but the seller...

says the part is the same for both the quattro and the fwd. I'm pretty sure thats wrong.

Default Don't let it leak too long or it will damage the tie rods...

I know cause that is what happened to me. The fluid from the steering rack is highly corrosive. If it gets on any rubber parts, they're toast.
