The steering pump has a whine when you turn the wheels both ways. also hard to turn when standing still. The reservoir is full but bubbles when the car is running. Have tried turning the wheels back and forth, no good. This started when i left the car parked over night with the tires turned all the way to the left. I&amp;#39;m thinking pump, but perhaps it&amp;#39;s not.</description></item><item><title>Timing belt question...</title><link>http://www.autotropolis.com/cs/forums/thread/10617.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 May 2007 16:02:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">47d518e0-6f86-4bcb-9b63-62b215176eac:10617</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.autotropolis.com/cs/forums/thread/10617.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.autotropolis.com/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=42&amp;PostID=10617</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi guys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have 1997 &lt;a href="http://www.autotropolis.com/car.review/2007/Audi/A8.htm"&gt;Audi A8&lt;/a&gt;, buoght it used and never have had any problems.
