I have searched the forum for this problem and have found several threads where it says it could be the balance shaft and chain or the alternator pulley. My problem only happens when you turn the steering wheel while at idle and once you give it some throttle the sound goes away. So how would I trouble shoot this? It really seems to me to be something to do with the power steering pump. My 2005 Passat TDI has 114K on it. I purchased it with 107K on it. It had maintenance done all of its life at a dealership. The timing belt was done at 80K even all the oil changes done ever 10K at the dealer on the Carfax report.
