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.

So this weekend I'm going to try and fix my noisy steering spring. I have read all the posts I can find but still haven't figured out if the spring has to be replaced or if it can be lubed in some way. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks Patrick 00 C4
Someone must know the answer to this, or at least the part number for the spring?
Repost over at Renntech.org Most technical questions on 996/986's get a better response there. Expecially part number questions (they have a specific forum for just part number request).
What kind of noise is it? You can get a noise out of the clock spring if the assembly is pushed too far back on the column. If you loosen the 8mm nut and pull the whole multifunction switch/clock spring assembly out a bit and retighten the nut you should get rid of the noise (or at least the one I experienced.)
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
