Product Details
Cardone’s Power Steering Reservoir line is built as a direct replacement for the original remote reservoir, not just as a pump accessory. Part number 3R-601 follows the OE layout, making it a practical choice when diagnosing noise, aeration, or fluid loss in the power steering system. For Audi TT and Volkswagen Golf/Jetta/R32 service, this reservoir helps restore the fluid supply path the pump depends on for stable operation.
This part cross-references Audi and Volkswagen OE number 1J0422371C for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Power steering fluid leaks from a cracked reservoir body
- Foaming fluid caused by trapped air in the system
- Noise related to restricted fluid supply or a clogged remote reservoir
- Loss of steering assist caused by poor fluid delivery to the pump
- Heat- and vibration-related reservoir deterioration
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2000-2006 Audi TT, N/A; 2000-2006 Audi TT Quattro, N/A; 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, N/A; 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, N/A; and 2004 Volkswagen R32, N/A. The reservoir may be located on the firewall, inner fender, or near the pump depending on the vehicle. Inspect the inlet and return hoses, and bleed air from the system after installation to reduce foaming and cavitation.
Quality Assurance
Each Cardone 3R-601 reservoir is 100% tested to verify proper fit and function before release. The design follows OE specifications and uses OE-grade material to support consistent performance in the engine compartment.
