Scraping sound from steering wheel
« on: 07 July 2012, 15:51 »
It sounds like a dry bearing or scraping plastic touching something it shouldn't.

Any ideas what's causing it?

That's exactly what it is by the sound of it. Had to do this on every golf I've owned, sounds like a bit of grit or something when it does it, well annoying!!!!

It may also be the top column bearing
