Hi

I have just bought a 2003 audi a4 1.9tdi se avant and have already run into a couple of problems.........

When i turn the steering wheel, a half turn, the power steering screetches and the steering wheel shudders!.....does any one know what the prob could be???do i need to bleed it or what??

Also on the dashboard display just beside where the temp reading is there is a small sign always on, its a small circle with a diagonal line through it and the user manual doesnt tell me what it is! again does anyone know????

More than likely you have a failed alternator one way clutch. Open the bonnet and get someone to turn the steering whilst you watch the drive belt. If it flaps around, the alternator clutch is faulty.
