Hello, I purchased a 1998.5 3V w/130K on the odometer. I had my mechanic do a full tune up, timing belt and all vital parts, and swap the Power Steering pump (it was making a rattling sound) After the PS swap, all was fine (no sounds at all) About 25 miles later-same sound resurfaced!
So, he swapped in another PS. Sound went away, but it came back after ~20 miles. The fluid level was drained and refilled w/Audi fluid. Fluid level remains the same-no leak. Neither one of us can figure out why this is happening. Could we have swapped in two bad pumps? These were remanufactured units from his parts distributor, so I don't know if that is possible.
Thanks,
Joe
