Genuine Dodgy Steering Noise

[CupraDSG]

first things first before i started this thread i went techno on the search bar and cannot find a thread similer...

i know these DSG cupras sound like a bag of spanners inside a bag of marbles at slow speeds BUT when im coasting in and out of my street on like the pebble dashed surface (not 100% smooth but not too rough) or a bit of a rough road -WITH- steering lock applied either left or right im getting a noise and vibration. (what seams from the rack or column)

to explain it i would make it sound extreme , its not - just damn annoying and sounds cheap .
its as if the droplinks are loose but they arn't . i went too the dealer they drove it and the tech said does it do it when your abusing it around bends at high speeds . i said yeah sometimes ... apparently theirs no fix as of yet and they know about it (they just said they would send a tech report) . im not asking for solutions unless you have a 100% answer but does any body else's do it .

thanks jonny ,

p.s if there is already a thread could someone link me and possibly delete this i cannot search no more lol . .

bag of spanners?

mine sounds allright, just lots of supercharger whine.

just referring too the DSG rattles nearly everyone has at slow speeds in there cupras/bocs as the dry clutch's figure out which gear to select upon your increase or decrease of speed usually most heard up too 3rd gear some louder than others , im pretty sure there is thread after thread on this . yours must be an exception. i have the whine too, i took all the charger covers off it sounds alright .

If you can hear it 1st - 2nd or 2nd - 1st and d-n-r-p etc u have the rattle as thats when i hear it. Also mostly in D whilst moving in gears 1-2 . Beyond the rattle im asking about the steering. I just included it so people didn't mistake it for what im explaining.

But it's not annoying or not noticeable. It's more of a cluck than rattle in mine when changing gears and d-n-r-p.

hmm ive noticed it once or twice.

but its gotta be pretty quiet for me to hear it.

No issues or rattles with my Boc. Just supercharger whine and the DSG can only be heard when I go into N. Which can be expected as you have engaged neutral. I used to when I first had the car hear a creek from my power steering when steering at very low speeds. This has since stopped.

Mine is fine too. Just a really annoying squeek from the passengers seat when the missus is in the car.

So its just me with the steering noise , Im actually not on about the dsg. Or anything to do with that. my dsg is fine, just this annoying steering thing like i said asif a drop links loose but only when turning slow on rough road or as if theres a loose bush in the steering rack. Its deffo a problem the dealer admitted he'd heard of a few but seat have made no fix for whatever the problem is , as of yet.

Maybe if you didnt drive so badly she would shut up

Or buy a ball gag like i got for mine.

i did have an issue with mine was making a knocking noise when you turn, or even slightly jiggle the wheel when the car was moving.

o/s droplink was worn thats what they told me anyway, repaired under warrenty and havnt heard a noise since.

Good one. I think i have narrowed it down to the seatbelt rubbing against the side bolster. Told her to go on a diet.

Lol at the above two posts. Yeah i think i might look at the drop links i dont know why stealer would not notice though. Perhaps not enough money too be made for them. :/
