Hey all,
I am an owner of a 2004 TB with 52,000 miles and recently took it into dealership due to a roaring noise coming from engine that happens just on occassion when I accelerate. I was told that there was a service bulletin about power steering and fluid that was used for cold climates and that my pump maybe damage. It was suggested that I try having the break fluid systems cleaned out and replaced with new break fluid which i had them do it, but said if that wouldnt help the problem then the pump would need to be replaced at a cost of $500.00. I spent $140 and problem happened again, but just once driving from work in traffic. I can not find this service bulletin and was wondering if anyone knew anything about this problem and if anyone else had problems with the power steering pump and at 52,000 miles is it reasonable that a pump would need to be replaced. I love my TB but if this is a sign of things to come after 50,000 miles then I am thinking about trading and not for another TB. Thanks for your help or input.
