No matter the model year, it is likely that you can use the same power steering fluid in your VW Golf Mk4: VW G004 000 M2. If that's not available, you can also opt for Pentosin CHF 11S - it may appear green, but it is authentic. If those are not options, you can substitute with any ATF or Dexron VI. Yes, you read that correctly - the same fluid is used for both the power steering and the transmission. In terms of cost, the Pentosin will run you around $29 per gallon. If you notice that you are frequently topping off the power steering fluid, you may have a leak; it is advisable to check your hoses and seals!
The recommended power steering fluid for a VW Golf mk4 is CHF 11S Hydraulic Fluid.
