Re: how much power steering fluid (jtfrog)
I don't know what year your car is but here is stuff relevant to late C4's
Whenever I drained my system it took about a quart and a half to refill. If I were you I would buy three quarts.
You bleed the system by jacking up the front wheels and turning the steering back and forth a lot, I think the manual says like 30 cycles or something. Also, mine gulped a lot of fluid from the resivior when the motor was started and the pump started turning. This takes two people.
