    Help please guys, A4 cab 2003, 3.0 sport petrol. When manoeuvring slowly around car parks, mini roundabouts there’s an awful noise from (I think) the front drivers side of the engine bay area. I’ve had the common power steering squeal on and off for a while now but not been a problem, but this new noise is really harsh, hard to describe it almost sounds like a duck or animal squarking????? (Yes I’ve checked, no animals are present)

    any clues guys, just stung me for a new cambelt and waterpunp and then a new alternator in the last 3 weeks - please don’t be another expensive fix 🙁

    Thanksgiving arman123, started the car and opened power steering cap to see if it was bubbling/overflowing (saw a video where filter was blocked in the reservoir and caused it to blow back out the cap hole). It was pretty much empty

    loqoked under car for any obvious signs of a leak, but it’s hammering it down outside so everywhere’s wet (guess I was looking for pink or green fluid under the car)

    there was something dripping from under the car when it was running, middle of the car towards back of the engine but it looked clear?

    get about 2 litres because if its empty you will have a leak fill it up and try find the leak when you fill it up turn steering from left to right to purge out any air

    Thanks again mate

    My local garage is 1 mile away, would you risk driving it that distance so they can get it up on a ramp?
