Where is power sterring pump located on 1996 Audi

usaully located at the bottom of washer tank where you fill the window washer fluid some have fuses in the fuse box others the wires corrode or break at the pump or pump burnt

GM typically uses a presses on pulley on the power steering pump-most auto part stores have the removal tool(it's cheap enough to buy,or you could take advantage of many store's free loaner tool program,they most likely require a purchase)

theres a holding tank on the fire wall? i belive? if not its on the motor ,good luk

mcdevito75 here, I imageine your pwr. Steering pump is on top of the motor, it could be too full or if you have a broken engine mount the engine is lifting to high in reverse and causeing the pwr, steerinf fluid to leak out of the pump. Have your local shop check it.

the pressure valve in the power steering unit is faulty. Replace the power sterring pump

It depends on the engine. Some engines have seperate belts for diffrent accessories and some have a serpentine belt that wraps around all accessories (A/C, alternator, Power sterring, ect) with one belt. Look for the power steering fill under the hood. It is normally close to the power steering pump which should have a pully and a belt on it. The belt on the pully is the one.

The 1996 A4 uses a central locking system which is vacuum operated. Each door has a vacuum servo which raises and lowers by air pressure created by the vacuum pump. The pump is located in the trunk right behind the passenger side tail light.

Either the pump is faulty or the vacuum lines leading to it are damaged.

This problem may be best left to the Audi dealer to troubleshoot as this is very model specific and not many small shops will have experienced this problem.

Check up the hydraulic power steering pump.
See picture below for 1.6, 1.8 liters Audi (4 cyl.) engines:

If you find leaks and noise when runing, the hydraulic vane type pump is damaged. The pump **** air inside and mix air with oil resulting foam. Therefore fluid volume inside steering instalation rises. Then pressure overflows oil from the reservoir. You need repair or replace hydraulic vane type steering pump.

hope this helps

The High -Low steering effort switch doesn't work. Any ideas?
