Phil,
Are you speaking of 'moaning' sounds when steering at nearly full
lock? I hear that on my A4 too...from what I've read, it's normal on
hard, slow turns. You may try a search here for more info:

I get it both on low speed FULL lock turns but also normal turns. Feels
like something is "binding" until the car straightens out of the turn.
I know the PS noise. This is truly like a HEAVY truck. The whole
passenger compartment vibrates. My passengers always say "WHAT IS THAT
NOISE ?" Someone on Audiworld had this last year and I'm trying to see
if they resolved theirs. I have driving 2001, 2002, 2003 A4 models and
NONE had these noises.
Thanks !

Have you fitted thicker tyres recently?

Check the power steering fluid. Might be low. That will do it.

Re: 02' A4 1.8T 20K miles with LOUD drivetrain MOAN on L / R turnsand
PS was low two weeks ago. However the noise I have had since day one and
the dealer said "they all do that". But of course they do not as I have
driven the 2001, 2002 (other ones) and 2003 models of A4 1.8T. They are
all quiet like a $ 30K car should be. Once the PS fluid was topped off,
the noise was reduced "somewhat". But the whole car interior vibrates
like a 25 year old Jeep. It must be something in the drive train.
However when I'm in NEUTRAL (5spd) there is NO noise at all. Completely
quiet as could be.
I hope this Tuesday they will identify it quickly. I think I have....bad
quattro / differential.

Could be CV Joint?

A bad CV Joint makes noise even if the car is in neutral but still
rolling.
