Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Does anyones powersteering make noises?

    My steering is making a sort of whining sound. Not too bad, but noticeable. Fluid seems to be ok. Could it be the pump or something else?

    mine whines louder than my ex girlfriend. (thats pretty loud)
    But has been doing it since i got the car. Have had the fluid changed. got a little bit better but still pretty loud. Good news is. Thats 100,000kms ago now. Hasnt really gotten any worse.

    I have heard tho that if the wrong fluid is used it can make them whine.. id try changing that first maybe?

        Mine's like Tim's - whined like mad since I bought it, I've changed the fluid and it got a little better, but it's still carrying on like a banshee...

        Been doing it now for 35000kms that I know of...

        Cheers,

          Hmm interesting as I thought that mine was the only one. Mine does it but not that loud and not that noticeable unless your listening to it.

            Looks like it could be a common trait among us mk3 owners. I can live with it however, mainly gets drowned out by exhaust note so u can only hear it when ur parking etc...will look at belt and change the fluid and I'll let you know if it makes any difference....
