Very annoying squeeking steering columb.

[vwmark]

2002 - 130PD estate - the steering wheel has the most annoying squeek since I bought it. I have removed the airbag, wheel etc including the stalks. Can't find anything else to remove. I have soaked the columb in WD40 but still got the squeek - its directly from under the wheel - any ideas or has anyone had this before.

The squeek is enough for me to sell it!

i had this problem with my 1.9 GT TDI. I tried everything to get rid.. still would not go. Luckily enough i have my music lous enough most of the time so didnt hear it.

Is it affecting your steering in any way?

No effecting the steering just gets on your nerves around town. Without taking the whole columb out I have given up and put it all back together!

Sorry then.. not too sure what it is... I would try taking off the steering wheel and looking at the back for any signs of rubbing... other than that i don't have a clue.. sorry mate

My 02 TDI Sport has always has squeeky steering at slow speeds.Kinda get used to it but would like to eradicate it.

Try soaking the rubber bush at the bottom of the column with WD40 or similar, where it goes through the bulk head. I get these noises at work all the time. It sounds as if its just behind the steering wheel but it isnt. My dash is creeking and its driving me insane!!! I know how you feel. Just can't be bothered to take it out!!!
