To flush, remove return line to PS tank, then have someone crank the engine (remove coil wire so it doesn't start) to pump the old fluid into a container. Don't let the tank go dry - top up with new fluid & repeat a few times until clean fluid comes out the return. Mine took about 1 1/2 qts to flush & fill. I was able to clean the filter by rinsing in solvent. Shawn '88 Westy 332k (Kyra) '85 Jetta TD 350k (Jenni)
