Strange steering wheel noise

[jonfun21]

My steering wheel has started to make a funny noise when I turn it, sounds like a sweet wrapper is stuck behind it. Have had a good look at there is nothing obviously stuck.

Anyone come across this before and found a fix, or do I need to go and see my local VW dealer?

Thanks

I don't think there are many clairvoyants or esp's on here you haven't said a particular model. A good idea would be to put your exact model details in your signature?

Google it my next choice.

Mk6, 5 Door, 1.4 Tsi 122 SE, Mutifunctional Steering Wheel, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, Comfort Pack, Front Fogs.

I know its probably best to take it to the dealer, its just a hassle to book it in etc.

The steering racks on Golfs (and A3s) are notorious for making creaking noises when turning, especially towards the end of its lock.

I had this on my old A3, and the only solution is to get them to replace the rack under warranty.
