Also i feel as though my steering is a bit stiff, particularly when turning left or right.

Any ideas on the problem?

I'm not familiar with the A4, but it's not a big job to replace the belt. I'm sure someone else will be able to advise you more.

Its possible you need a new belt too so if you are not into these things, best get someone to have a look for you although nothing difficult involved.

Unless you're handy enough with the spanners you're better off bringing it to a good indie.
