Post by: locin78 on 29 July 2009, 22:41: does this happen on full lock? check the basic's like fluid ect , someone on this site said to me as mine use to do it on full lock that mk3 are prone to doing that not sure how true that is but a few people on here have had the same proplem .

Post by: av8r on 29 July 2009, 22:48: My Mk3 Gti used to do this when making tight slow turns. My thoughts at the time was possibly a wheel bearing fault, but then one day 2 yrs ago it just stopped and its not occured since.

Post by: locin78 on 29 July 2009, 22:58: it could be the rack you could try looking at that, i was told to look at mine but it just stopped so i did not bother

Post by: bhpamzz on 29 July 2009, 23:05: what is there to look at on it though?
i think i might have a look at how much a new one would cost but i bet its gonna be really expensive!
Title: Re: when moving sterrng wheel i hear deep sqeeking???
Post by: locin78 on 29 July 2009, 23:08: thats all you could do is price it up unless you can get a second hand one

:grin:

Post by: Sonic2 on 30 July 2009, 09:44: It could be the power steering pump.

Mine does this on full lock, especially when parking, (makes a squealing noise) but (touch wood!!!) doesnt seem to be leaking any fluid, yet!

Post by: Wayne on 30 July 2009, 11:58: Something squeaking would suggest to me a dry bearing or bush, a bush or bearing that has failed will tend to knock or rattle.

Post by: coggers79 on 30 July 2009, 13:48: tension the power steering belt problem solved :wink:
Title: Re: when moving sterrng wheel i hear deep sqeeking???
Post by: bhpamzz on 30 July 2009, 23:51: thanks for all the replys im going to have a good check tommorow to see if i can figure it out.
it cant be nothing too major i was thinking the bushs or belt. but we will see :undecided:

Post by: Matty-MK3 on 31 July 2009, 18:21: Been low on fluid recently? It could be air in the system, 2000 revs and hold on full lock for about 10 seconds, then try it. Do it a couple of times and see if it improves, if it does, keep doing it until it stops.

I'm not saying it will solve it, but it is worth a try. :smiley:

Did this work?
Title: Re: when moving sterrng wheel i hear deep sqeeking???
Post by: Wayne on 02 August 2009, 00:16: As I said in my earlier post a squeaking will be a dry bearing or bush, air in the pas system is a different noise all together.
