Default Noise question

Im pretty sure this isnt normal, but Im getting a low pitched metal rubbing metal noise when I put the car in reverse and turn the steering to the right. Im going to the dealer in a few days but was wondering what this can be.. any thoughts?

Default This happened to me about an hour ago.

Thinking about going by the dealership and getting a top off on PS fluid.

Default Just FYI the TSB states that the PS fluid should be 10mm above the max level

I brought a copy of that to university (since I know you are local seattle) and the SA just grabbed a bottle and we went out and fixed it right up.<ul><li><a href="http://www.dejong947.com/audi/tsb/audi.tb.48-05-01.pdf">http://www.dejong947.com/audi/tsb/audi.tb.48-05-01.pdf</a></li></ul>

Default My PS fluid level was fine but he topped it off above max, per AOA.

He told me the ABS does a self-test at startup and I may have been hearing that if I was moving slowly and my foot was on the brake (yes and yes). I don't believe this is what I heard, so I will continue to listen for it. Please let me know what your service man says.
