Audi 80/100/S2 Power Steering Problem – Racks and Pumps
The Audi 80/100/S2 uses a conventional hydraulic power steering system which consists of a Power Steering Rack, Power Steering Pump and high pressure & low pressure hydraulic pipes which connect them together. The system is linked with a Steering column (shaft) which is what the steering wheel is fixed to at the user-end.
Below we’ve listed some common problems with the power steering components on the Audi 80/100/S2 and this should hopefully help you better diagnose any faults you’re experiencing and replace the right parts.
Common Audi 80/100/S2 Power Steering Pump Failures
- Leaking / Loss of Oil
- Whining
- Heavy Steering (Either Way)
- Loss of Power (When Idling)

As you can see from the above, some of the problems can occur in both a Power Steering Rack and a Power Steering Pump fault – for example having Loss of Power (When Idling & Whilst Revving) but if you’re unsure as to what may be causing this problem, then give us a call and we would be happy to assist you in diagnosing the problem further.
