Audi A6 C7 Squeaky Steering wheel

[DaveOL89]

Hey,

 

2014 pre facelift Audi A6 Avant Ultra TDI

 

when turning (especially small amounts) the steering wheel squeaks / makes noises. 
 

any one else have this? Any easy fixes? Maybe as simple as some lubricant behind the steering wheel? 
 

thanks,

Dave.

It might as simple as the steering wheel rubbing lightly on the cowling around the column. If the noise stops when you bend the cowling in a little you have found the cause. A trace of silicone oil should help.

On the other hand the noise may be from the steering column bushes that are a lot more difficult to access.

It does sound more like it’s rubbing, will have a good look tomorrow and see if some silicone grease can solve it!

 

Thanks for the reply!
