Car Forum / Audi Cars / October 2006Squeaking noise while steering at slow speeds
Hello, I have a 2001 Audi S4. It makes a loud squeaking noise when I turn the steering wheel and drive very slowly. It happens every time I parallel park. The mechanic said it's nothing to worry about, but it's really embarrasing and I would like to get it fixed. Does any happen to know what could be causing this noise and how I could fix it? Thanks >Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Thanks Could be many things, from brake noise through bad wheel bearing to bad front differential components... /daytripper '00 s4 6spd Could be that the belt tension is too loose and slipping. >>Hello, >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > /daytripper > '00 s4 6spd >I have a 2001 Audi S4.

That description matches symptoms I had on my last car (a BMW). The first time, it turned out to be the power steering pump that was worn out (GBP 500). The second, it was the steering rack (GBP 700). Peter. > >I have a 2001 Audi S4. It makes a loud squeaking noise when I turn the > >steering wheel and drive very slowly.

I had something similar in an A3 recently, slow reverse caused this terrible squealing noise coming from somewhere (difficult to identify inside the car). After several visits to the dealers ("we can't find any noise on the car sir") they cleaned out the entire braking system (FOC!) and that did the trick. Here's hoping it's something similar with yours and not an expensive pump/rack replacement. > Is it only on reverse?

I notice it most while parallel parking and the car is moving in reverse. When you say "cleaned out the entire breaking system", what do you mean? |
