Stearing column squeak
I have an A6 1.9 TDI 1999. When I turn the steering wheel I get a squeaking
noise coming from the steering column - kind of like something is rubbing
against the column. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any
ideas what it could be?

Re: Stearing column squeak
had a very common problem with the bottom ball joints on these audi's
squeaking when turning.
check the squeak from this area first before condeming the column.

The pump can make some short grinding noise when standing stll and turning
the wheel.
Nothing to worry about.

Re: Stearing column squeak
Thanks for the replies, I have read somewhere that often the rubber cover
for the ball joints needs pulling back and lubrication being put on - WD40.
Not sure that the WD40 would stay on there for long - any other ideas would
be well recieved.
