Like all plastic engine parts, the original power steering reservoir on the Volkswagen T3 Combi isn't indestructible.
Over time, the plastic deteriorates, and this is often the first thing you notice when the retaining clips come loose.
While you can remove internal contamination with a little effort and patience, your reservoir often won't stay looking brand new.
Replacement is then a worthwhile alternative.With a new reservoir, you can be sure it will last for years and look like new again. Don't forget to order the correct ATF fluid and a set of new hose clamps.
