Audi TT Power Steering Problems – Racks and Pumps

Audi TT Power Steering FaultThe Audi TT 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 TT  and this should hopefully help you better diagnose any faults you’re experiencing and replace the right parts.

Common Audi TT Power Steering Pump Failures

  • Leaking / Loss of Oil
  • Whining
  • Heavy Steering (Either Way)
  • Loss of Power (When Idling)
  • Loss of Power (When Idling & Whilst Revving)

 

Common Audi TT Power Steering Rack Failures

  • Heavy Steering (One-Way)

  • Excessive Play in Steering Wheel
  • Excessive Play in Track-Rod Arms

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.

  • Can you advise if you supply hydraulic hoses for the steering on my Audi TT mk1 I am not sure which one I need at the moment

    • Hi Steve

      Thanks for the enquiry,

      We can supply hoses but it would be cheaper for you to send your hoses to us and we can replace the rubber parts for you if that’s where it is damaged – as a pose to replacing the complete pipe. This way we’ll use your original metal joints and connectors and replace the rubber part which is split / damaged and save you a fair bit of money.

      Get it checked out, find out where it’s leaking from and let me know if it’s the high pressure or low pressure pipe and I can quote you accordingly.

      Kind Regards
