Default Q5 2010, 3.2L, steering wheel shuddering

Hi,
I am facing this issue in my 2010 Q5, 3.2L,
In complete stop when turning the steering wheel to the left i feel a huge shuddering in the steering wheel and the left front tire also
i have noticed through my research online that the replacement of the power steering hose can solve this problem
any advise??!!
thanks in advance

There was a TSB that covered this issue that replaced the hose. Note that after I had it done, I still got the vibration and learned to live with it. It tends to be less noticeable if the power steering fluid is topped off.

I replaced the hose on my Q5 2.0T 2009 with the newest revision (2017 at the time). Note for Q5 they never issued a TSB or a TPI. It was only offered on other B8 family but not for Q5 as far as I know. The concept however is the same and should apply to Q5s too even though not directly.

Yes there was some shuddering at the beginning after replacing with the newest part, but of a lesser magnitude, which eventually diminished to zero. Not sure if it was the stop leak SW fluid I added that helped.

Do you remember the part number for this hose? I also have this problem and would like to try fix it. Thanks!

The part is called Expansion hose from vane pump to steering gear but this part is different for 1N1 (power steering) 1N3 (servotronic) and 1N7 (dynamic steering) (check which type you have)

For PR-1N3 which was mine (this is servotronic, best technology ever, you can thus retrofit Audi Drive Select) Part no depends if your Q5 is LHD or RHD
LHD: 8R1 422 893 AD.
RHD: 8R2 422 893 AD.

1N3 for me, LHD. How hard/expensive would retrofitting ADS be? Thanks.

Not hard and not very expensive. I purchased the full kit which came with german instructions. (Cut and paste to Google translate)
