Hi All

Recently my RS6 is making noise when I try to turn my steering wheel. This noise normally disappear when the car get warm up.
I checked with INDY locally and they said it might be my power steering pressure line to the rack is leaking.

I am not so sure how difficult to change this line? Can I replace this line with the engine on?

I'm pretty sure that this one means engine out

Yes the pressure line is engine out job but lots of other places to check before you go there.... Try and find the leak. Mine was the cooler on the front of the radiator. The low pressure line from the reservoir to the pump is also common apparently... Both cheap and easy fixes so keep your fingers crossed its one of them!

OMG~~~~I really do not want to face to this problem.

Actually, This problem only occur when the car not warm up yet, and the noise will disappear with few miles drive.

Anyway, i will check which area got leak, hopefully i do not need to drop the engine to solve this issue.

thank you for your input guys.

Oh yes. Had the same last year. Engine out on mine. OUCH. don’t want that again.

While I was at unit 20 last week. Mentioned that I had the engine out to replace power steering hoses.
Response was not necessarily.
So I presume it can be done without removing the engine.
Obviously these guys are experts on these cars.
