Chaps.

I've got an old 1997 Golf GTI (8v) which has also recently picked up the smokey steering column with very similar symptoms.

If I was Oz Clark I would say I'm getting light fluffy tones of plastic.

It statred off as the odd whispy release of smoke but it is getting worse and more frequent.

Like GJM123 I fiind this quite a worry. (Perhaps it's time to trade it in but with only 60K miles on the clock its not as easy a decision).

Many thanks if anyone can help.
