My steering the last couple of days has been making a rubber rubbing noise on or near full lock when reversing into my drive or garage and onxe or twice a tick.

Its 3.25 years old with 10k on.

Anyone know what the tps is talked about in that thread above?
Or what they loobed?



Looks like im not the only one

I had this, cured under warranty. Apparently the arch liner was fitted incorrectly so fouled the tyre on full lock. Worse when wet

I had this exact same issue in my MK6 GTD. I could only hear it when the car was wet, especially in an under ground carpark I was using at the time. I mentioned it to the dealers and they fobbed me off.

I kinda forgot about it and eventually the noise just went away by itself, so I've no idea what the root cause of it was. Not helpful for you I know.
