Hi,
I've got a 2005 2.0 TDI Avant that's been good as gold (well, nearly) for the past 103,000 miles, but started to make an odd noise at full lock either left or right. I've had a look and can see that the PAS pump is sticking momentarily while a colleague moves the wheel from lock to lock. If I have them hold the revs at around 2,000, the system works perfectly.
I'm guessing this is the pump that is failing, but figured you guys would know far better than I do. I've been quoted over six hundred quid to have it replaced so thought I might have a crack at it myself, although the Audi is far more complex than the 21 year old Land Rover I drive in the mud then fix at weekends.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks,
Dave
