    Ur s4 power steering help please

    I am having real problems with power steering in my Audi 100 s4. I fitted a new steering rack and things were fine then pump started making bad grinding noises, I fitted a new one and still the same and I am now on my 4th attempt- I had known good ones and it is still making a noise almost exactly the same, I fully bled all before running and then bled steering after. Does anyone have any idea if there could be a restriction etc? I checked filter bolt and was fine and has all new fluid. Am dreading having to change rack again as I already had to change out dodgy reconditioned unit.

        Does the PAS work correctly? i.e. is it just the noise from the pump?

          Original pipes? Or did you get some made up?

            Original pipes which look ok? To be honest I think steering is also stiffer now to turn, it was better when rack first went in with original pump
