i was wondering to if i could go to the vw dealership and get there ps fluid for my car if i need it. the closes audi dealer ship to me is 100 miles north and 93 miles south but vw is 13 miles down the road.
I think you've nailed it. There is some fluid on the 2 lines coming from the bottom of the resevoir. Mostly the larger front line. Like it's weeping. I don't know if I'm up to removing the stuff around it to be able to pull the resevoir out. I've read the tech article but it looks like I have more componets around the resevoir than described in the article.

If you take all those connectors off that plastic bracket you will get a better look at those lines. You can even take the plastic part thats connected to the metal bracket off. Ive never removed anything else to get the reservoir off.
Well, I think if done all I can do unless there's some other suggestions. Got the resevoir out. Screens are clean, cut off enough of the hoses to put new hose clamps. Still getting tiny bubbles. Just like before. May be time for the mechanic. Must be a small leak somewhere. I'm going to try a new thread to see if anyone knows of a stop leak for our cars. I'll let you know the outcome. Thanks

IMHO do not use any STOP leak stuff!!! It fills small holes as sealer INCLUDING regular/needed holes.
What I'd recommend to do (if there are no drops around the tank) - remove the engine cover, locate you pump and carefully look around its body. There are several potential places: 1. the pump consists of two halfs - look the place they are connected. 2. two pipes (in/out) 3. staffing-box, glad on its shaft
I too have a 2003 A4 3.0 with a moaning pump. Has anyone else removed the restrictor as dankhound suggested above? Should I remove it completely or just clean it and reinstall? I'm considering a magnefine filter to try to trap some of the debris in the system.
