Doing no more than 5mph from a road end the car (2002 S3, 54,000m) juddered then I had no steering. I limped 10 yards and pulled up, jumped out to find a puddle of oil (smelt like HG90/powersteering fluid). Before this there were no knocks, bangs, whirrs...nothing. The car was driving brilliantly.
Had the car taken to a garage for repairs under warranty, only had the car 4 weeks. :mad:
The garage said the driveshaft had sheared some bolts and then smashed a hole in the gearbox and took out a powersteering pipe. All I know is they've had it a week so far and looks like I'll have it back for Monday.
Anybody had similar problems?
