Creeking/Cracking/Knocking noise from steering
Lucas017:
Hi all,
I'm new to the VW scene and it's my first post on here :happy2:
I've had my Golf GTI Edition 30 for about 2 months now... I'm very impressed with the car especially the DSG box and it feels better built than my 2013 Fiesta ST!!
However, as the title says... A noise coming from the steering, it only seems to happen at lower speeds, but it can be quite loud!
I've checked the other threads with some steering rack problems, but the noise differs on the videos.
Has anyone had anything like this before? Or any ideas what it could be?
Many thanks :smiley:

I have the exact same thing, was going to start a post but... hopefully someone can answer.
Mine creaks/click when turning both ways, it's annoying more than anything, doesn't seem to have issues steering and the road holding is ok.
Seems to have got worse with the rain. I think it may need some sort of full lubrication on the rack/arms/joints etc?
I hope that is all it is!

Looking at another thread on here, it could possibly be the Sub frame bolts? Not to sure though.
Mine seems to get louder or worse the warmer the weather...
As you said, it doesn't seem to affect the handling at all.
I may take it to MidlandsVW as its not to far from me. I'll let you know when it gets sorted :happy2:
