Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

does anyone's steering wheel squeak when unwinding after a turn? didn't want to just squirt WD-40 back there but am tempted. any thoughts - tired of sounding like a rusty post-war yugo.

POST 2Original post

My TT squeaks occasionally as well, I haven't been bothered enough to bring it up to the forum community yet, so let's see if there is a DIY out there for us.

POST 3Original post

Often times this is just the strut mount, but it has been known to the the lower control / ball joint area too.

POST 4Original post

I think it's the airbag/clock spring behind the steering wheel. I think more use may help it to stop squeaking.

POST 5Original post

I agree with Mark ^. Do a search on "clock spring" and you will find a DIY to replace it.

POST 6Original post

Don't know about that.I had my clock spring / airbag changed when my horn started to have a taurrets on it own accord. I still hear the squeak now and than.

POST 7Original post

Not really a squeak, but I did have a creaking sound when turning the wheel. Turns out to be a strut bearing. I pick up the car on Friday.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
