    Hissing noise

    Ive got a slight hissing noise coming from around the under side of the steering, it just started the other day as i was pulling the car out of the drive, which is when i realised it. I've had the PAS pump changed, seems to be working fine. Also when you rev it slightly a few times the hiss seems to get just a little bit louder, not very loud. It can only be heard when stationary, it doesnt interfere with the performance of the car. Any thoughts?

      Well it better slither its rear end back out before it experiences some serious G force mated to quattro

        I've had this for a while. I'm wondering if the restriction in the pas line has broken.

          As soon as I put a bit of load on the steering wheel it goes

            I had that on a 90 quattro 20v and I had to replace the rack.

              Changed the pump to rack hose today for a new one. Hiss gone!!! Best money I've spent on the car I reckon!

                Bingo! My hiss went away after a while without me doing anything. Who says these cars always cost

                  Funny that, mine had a slight hiss when I turned it off until I changed the head the other year. Solved it too lol
