Creaky Steering

Post by Adam_013 »

I've recently noticed my steering wheel creaks when I turn it.

Only just started doing it, never noticed / heard it before.

Anyone have any idea, or had this before?

Thanks.

... I would upload a vid but I can't - it's too big [emoji107]

Certainly will be going back, again. Just I'm away in the car for a few weeks and wondering if anyone else has the same issue.

I've not had much luck with these new polos [emoji23]

Not the best, but you can hear it.

Still, trip to the dealer again this weekend.

That was my first thought, but I can't feel any vibrations on the steering column plastics, I can only guess that's somethings dislodged itself somewhere... Nothing to worry about I'm sure, just annoying.
