Audi/VW states that 7.1 and 11S can be mixed if necessary but we suggest draining and flushing the system if you are changing from 7.1 to 11S*** ***Note - this is currently sold as part # G00200 by Audi/VW as of 1990, replacing Pentosin CHF7.1 The CHF11S is correct for Audi/VW 1990 and later models, while Audi/VW 1989 and earlier models can use either 7.1 or 11S although 11S is recommended. Should not be mixed with ATF fluids or other power steering fluids. This synthetic fluid is correct for many later models which specify synthetic fluid. Pentosin CHF 11S Synthetic Hydraulic Fluid - Fully synthetic hydraulic fluid for steering and central hydraulic systems. 1989 and earlier models can use either although the 11S is recommended. As of 1990 Audi/VW is selling Pentosin CHF11S as their part # G002000. ***Note - this was sold as part # G00200 by Audi/VW through 1989. Should not be mixed with ATF or other fluids. Pentosin CHF 7.1 Hydraulic Fluid - Special mineral based hydraulic fluid for use in power steering, central hydraulic and suspension level control systems.
