    Power steering pump

    Can anyone tell me which of these kits will suffice for our ps pump. Iirc, our pump is shared with a number of other audis.

    Dump the fluid out of the pump at the power steering cooler (the line in front of all the other coolers). Not free but just costs the PS fluid (which ain't cheap). Replace the clamp and I'd bet you are good to go.

    My pump is a whiner as well. Fluid flush makes it happy for a few days, then back to the whining.

    Was in whining for awhile before you did the flush?

    yeah, more often in cold weather.

    Still, the flush is easy and worth a try!

    Mike, my exhaust is loud enough to drown out the "whine".
