When car is cold, a full turn of the steering wheel at very slow  
  
 speeds (5mph or so) creates a grinding noise which seems to  
  
 come from the rear. Once the car warms up, this noise does  
  
 not occur. Audi service department feels the rear differential  
  
 is the problem and recommends replacement for about $4500.
