Hi All,

I've got a 2002 A6 2.5TDI Avant with serious Power Steering problems. This started with a noisy whine and has quickly developed into a serious crunching sound and now failure of the PS.

The fluid reservoir is full, however the fluid is full of bubbles. There doesn't appear to be any fluid puddles on the ground where the car has been standing, but I haven't got underneath it yet.

Can anyone suggest if this is likely to be pump related and any steps I should take before changing it?


Thanks in advance!

Rob
