Default Audi q5 2.0 tfsi 2012 (not face lift)steering wheel shudder

Hi there, recently i bought Audi q5 2.0 tfsi quatro.
At the day I bought the car I found that when I made a low speed turn( for exapmle if a have to go in a cross-street) I felt a steerring wheel shudder.
So does anyone can guess what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance.

Power steering? Fluid low or belt loose. I believe electric steering started in 2013+

I've just changed the belt and the strech roller,so about the fluid isnt there an indicator
for the lower fluid level, because there isn't any.
Thanks.

AFAIK,there should be a plastic dipstick in the cap of the reservoir. Please peek at owners manual.

2012 A4's have that problem. It was fixed with a new improved power steering pump hose. You should call an Audi dealer to see if the TSB covers your Q5.

Also is there any visible difference between the original "power steering pump hose" and
the improved one.Are there any pics or internet site) where I can see what the differences are.

I don't know of the physical differences and if you can tell one from the other. I'm also not sure if it even pertains to the Q5.
