did u check ur power steering fluid level? Just giving it a guess.

^^^ sounds about right. Also, might want to do a search. If I remember correctly someone else on this forum had the same problem as you after playing in the snow. I think it turned out to be the steering pump.

Going to check the steering fluid, nothing came up when I searched for steering pump. I just hope its nothing serious.

Were you holding the steering wheel at full lock?

**El_Chapusca** · 12-17-2008 06:29 AM

No not even

**gdawg'05a4** · 12-17-2008 06:30 AM

Probably just the fluid then. If that's topped off then it may be the steering pump which I hear is a common thing that goes on the B6.

martini blew his pump doing this, but he was full-locking his wheel

**El_Chapusca** · 12-17-2008 06:48 AM

If it came down to being the pump screwed up, around how much would this little trouble cause me?

Time for a chnage

I noticed the same thing last night when i was playing around. Steering had more resistance to it when driving home afterwords.

Took her back out this morning and everything was fine.

Maybe the fluid was getting to hot...
