I can't deal with it. I hate stuff like that! If the new car has it i'm going to be pretty annoyed.

Ok I think it's getting worse, could be damp related but I'm not convinced. Did I read somewhere about taking some rubber mount out and regreasing or have I dreamt this?

There was a suggestion that it could be the CV boots sticking to themselves when damp and on-lock.

Silicone grease may help if this is the cause...

If it is such a problem, I'd be on to the dealership to sort out...

Fixed!!! Took it my VW garage...they had it a day and they tracked the problem to the dust covers.

They repaired, cleaned and reseated both front wheels.

I no longer have creaks! :)

That's what I thought...that's what it says on the fix sheet. The mechanic had gone who fixed it so it was left to the desk clerk to explain.

Whatever, it's fixed now!
