Atlantic Automotive Engineering Power Steering Reservoir P/N:RES-0178
Keep clean hydraulic fluid feeding your steering pump and rack with the Atlantic Automotive Engineering Power Steering Reservoir (RES-0125). This AAE new steering fluid reservoir drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 and 2012-2014 Volkswagen Beetle, the 2011-2015 Volkswagen Jetta, and the 2012-2014 Volkswagen Passat — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine-level fitment.

What does this power steering reservoir do?

Which vehicles does the RES-0125 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 and 2012-2014 VW Beetle, 2011-2015 VW Jetta, and 2012-2014 VW Passat. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Does it come with a cap?
