Are there any actually differences between these two PAS fluids ?
Does one supersede the other ? or have extra additives, etc. ? or is CHF202 just a rebrand of the older CHF11 ?

BTW I would strongly recommend you flash / replace all of your PAS fluid if it's not been done in a long while ... or ever, in the name of preventative maintenance

Top up or replace?
Unless it's clean and green definitely replace for the sake of £20.....a lot, lot cheaper than a pump and a rack....and you get that smug satisfaction of a) achievement, b) being a smart ass and c) saving money in the long run.

When you lift the reservoir cap there will be a drop left on the end of the measuring probe attached to the cap, you can see from this the condition of the fluid. You can also put the drop onto a white cloth/kitchen towel to help. It should be a nice bright green colour, if it's not you should flush it which is super easy to do. This is a great video made by a forum member that shows you how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DjUmy4prx4
