Electric RS6

[nekrum]

Hi all,

Now when I bought the RS last year I wasn't really thinking about the environment but mine, over the last few days has turned in a milk float..

I'm assuming that it's down the cold weather but was wondering if anyone else is having this, I'm getting a constant loud whining noise - does it both in and out of drive. Is this the steering pump?.. Is this normal in cold weather or do I need to be checking something out?..

Any thoughts would be appreciated.. Thanks..

Update - Had a reply from Grizz on Audisrs.com to check the power steering fluid..

The gearbox will squeal if the ATF is low as the pump cavitates (like the power steering pump will cavitate if the fluid is low).

Thanks Shoppinit, is there a way to check the ATF fluid level or is it a case of changing it to make sure? (the box is under a year old and the gear change is okay) was planning to do annually anyway but it's not due until April.

Yup, power steering fluid well low just below min.. what's the best was to check for leaks / commen places that leak?!.. ta
