        David, see my _Vanagon Power Steering_
(http://frankcondelli.com/hose.htm)  webpage for  hose replacements.  ATF, Dexron III is what is needed
in the system.   No need to bleed the system.  Just fill the reservoir, run
the engine, turn  the steering wheel full lock left and right then check the
level in the  reservoir and fill to MAX line.

>>>>>I just realized that the lower power steering  fluid hose which goes
from
the reservoir to the pump is leaking and  cracked.  Where do you  suggest I
get a replacement hose and what  fluid do I use to refill the  reservoir?
Does it use standard ATF oil?  The reservoir appears to  have ATF oil
stamped
on it.  Do I need  to bleed the system when changing  out the hose and if
so,
how?<<<<<
