Steering Rack / Suspension Squeak

[monkeyhanger]

Hmm, maybe I believe him now, but can’t explain why my suspension is now completely silent unless the 15 mile drive to the dealership without the front puck has settled the front end?

Good to actually be shown why there aren’t any in rather than tell a tale that doesn’t sound right to the uninitiated. Oh well, I’ll wait patiently for the rain to enjoy my new umbrella!

i was eying up the umbrellas on saturday morning when i was in doing paperwork. Doesnt exactly fill me with much confidence for tomorrow if the car isnt even at the dealer yet.

They can PDI it in 2-3 hours mcmaddy.  Even if they get it in the morning they can have it ready for late afternoon pick up.

Nice bit of negotiating there. Mind you knowing VW the umbrella will probably start leaking within a few minutes

Yeah guys my dealer confirmed there are no transport blocks in the rear shocks only the fronts.

On a side note apparently there is a bulletin out for noisy steering that's linked to wet weather. That one to watch. Currently there are no advised actions or production changes to resolve this problem.

I had this problem in my MK6 GTD. Very creaky noisy steering when the car was wet, most noticeable when I was maneuvering in an indoor carpark I was using at the time on a wet day. I mentioned it to the dealers and they fobbed me off, told me it was normal and even showed me a tech bulletin to that effect. I kinda got used to it / forgot about it and I eventually realised I hadn't heard the noise in ages - it actually went away on its own!

Is that with or without removing the transport pucks?
After reading about the going ons I'd feel a bit more comfortable if the PDI wasn't rushed!

  Removing the pucks - I think!! 3 hours isn't rushing it - piece of p1ss, they have the checklist so it beggars belief they can f7ck it up

10 min job including cranking the front wheel up by hand for me. 10 mins to get the bloody jack back prcisely in it's case and back in the car - those things are tightly packed!
