   i have a Ph1 1.6 8v saxo and i really want to change the powersteering and transmission fluid.
   
   For powersteering i bought Kroon Oil ATF DEXRON II-D 1 Litre
   For the gearbox i bought Kroon Oil Gearlube RPC 75w/80w 2x1 Litre
   are these the right ones and are these enough?
   
   How do i flush my powersteering fluid? it is pretty dark and it is on its minimum line.
   
   My gearbox/drife shaft makes a sound when my wheel is turned.

   Gearbox is correct,power steering I got Dexron type ATF.
   Easier to just replace the driveshaft,it's 26£ from eBay.
   Remove the hoses/pump to drain the old fluid.

   disconnect the hoses from the powersteering pump and turn the steering lock to lock a few times should flush most of it out and you'll probably have to take the pump itself off and empty it out, good time to give it a clean up anyway.

   Fixed it by replacing the left drive shaft, also replaced the (bearring suppose which is in the opening of the axle on the gearbox) in the gearbox.
