Golf Mk3 Power Steering Noise - bardi

My Golf has started making a growling noise when initially used. It occurs when the steering is around the centre position. The car has covered 140k miles.

I've checked the belts, hoses etc and bled the system to no avail.

Grateful your views

Cheers

My 140,000 mile 8v GTI has been making the same kind of noise for the first 10 minutes for the last 20,000 miles. I think it is because the power steering pump is worn, maybe because once I had the V belt too tight.
