Hello all,
I have my dearly beloved s4. Since buying I have done 2k miles and have only had to resove the usual oil leaks of the top left and right rubber gaskets............well that was until a strange noise started, went away, they came back and stayed.
This is the usual "power steering issues" noise where it whurrs and whines as you turn the wheel whith a constand wurr on tickover.
I had the power steering pump taken out, re built and then put back in, but this hasnt resolved the issue that I can see. the wurring continues, you have to really rev the car to feel the benefit of any power steering and when you look into the rsevoir, its frothing and bubbling so much that it over flows or spirts out of the cap (when its on)
I wasnt sure if the fluid was correct so have had it properly flushed out whilst re fitting the pump.
I have a theory, which a couple of audi specalists have ignored, so I though that I should ask the wealth of knowledge here as my next point of call...................any ideas what is causing the excess bubbling in the resevour and no doubt in the pump causing the noise?
