So,
I’ve noticed since after the holiday break my avant has developed a little annoying whine/drone. I think I’ve tracked it down to the steering as this whine/drone noise is constant but the volume increases at low speed when turning left and right or stationary. You can’t hear it from the engine bay with the engine running, and it looks as though the steering pump is very near the bulkhead which would transfer the noise into the cabin.
Once the car is warmed the noise gets quieter, still there but much less so than when the car is cold.
Has anyone else experienced these kinds of noises issues?
