[Vwdiesel] power Steering shudder

[mark shepherd]

Searching the world, tells me that at idle, and slow parking, vibration is 
common, even in mk8 type stuff; especially with other goodies like A/C 
operating.

There may also be an issue if part of the belt drive is using an aging 
pulley clutch.
I'll have to check the GTD
