UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and looking for a little help on a issue with my 2006 Polo GTI.

At slow speed the steering makes a strange swirling/grinding/creaking noise on full lock or near full lock.

I have checked the power steering fluid level and that's fine, the steering feels fine as well.

Any ideas on what this could be?

Worked it out after a lot of head scratching!
I sprayed the top mount with GT85 by turning the steering on full lock and using a tube on the can. I also sprayed the ARB bush at the same time and hey presto no creaking!

Mine Does it too.....I might just so the same Although it is lowered on springs

Cheers

Mine creaks and bangs and allsorts but mines down on coilovers. They are just abit of a noisy car it seems! if you search the forum loads of stuff about it will come up!

haha, come to think of it mine too! full lock makes a electronic whining noise, and when the car movse on full lock its a grinding from tyre to arch lining.. its fine mate

It got noisy again - turned out to be the strut top mount - the bearing had split
£100 later and all is well!
