Hello,

Does the car have Servotronic, and will the steering become easier or harder, similar to a humming/whining/squealing sound?

Is there any known background information? While the fact that the fluid level was at its minimum isn't a major issue, it usually indicates some underlying cause.

Hello everyone,

So far, I have replaced the following parts:

- Free running
- Tension roller
- Belt

When I bought the car, the fluid level was at the minimum mark, and since then it has dropped by approximately 1 millimeter.
It's proving difficult to record the noise, as it's very faint and only occurs when steering. However, I will try.
It doesn't matter whether the air conditioning is on or off.
It is most noticeable when reversing into a parking space.
The steering always feels the same, either light or heavy, except when steering while stationary (which I try to avoid), in which case it feels a bit stiffer at the beginning.
I'm not entirely sure whether the car has Servotronik or not .
It's an S-Line model, so I would guess it has Servotronic.

SG.

I've now replaced the tensioner and the freewheel. So far, I haven't heard anything more, but I will post an update here if that changes. Thank you for your help. Hello everyone, Unfortunately, the noise is still present.

Available or still in stock?

And where is the fluid leaking, or did the level only stabilize after filling because there was air in the system? If the level continues to drop and there's no visible leak at first glance, you should check under the dust covers to see if any fluid has accumulated there. If so, a new steering rack will likely be needed soon.

Hello,

Yes, unfortunately, it's back again.
I'm starting to feel like it's louder when the box is warm.
The steering rack boots are dry.
The oil level doesn't change beyond the specified 1mm, so it has stabilized.

Since this issue only occurs when steering, with or without the accelerator pedal engaged, I'm starting to suspect it's the pump.
