What Causes the Steering Wheel to Make Abnormal Noises in the Tiguan?
1 Answers
The reasons and solutions for abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel in the Tiguan are as follows: 1. Friction Between Plastic Components: The steering wheel is composed of various plastic parts. If the gaps between these parts are too small, friction may occur when the steering wheel is turned. This issue usually resolves itself after a period of wear. 2. Friction Between the Steering Column and Floor Mat: If the aftermarket floor mat is too large, it may come into direct contact with the steering column, causing friction as the column rotates. Adjusting the position of the floor mat or replacing it can solve the problem. 3. Faulty Clock Spring in the Steering Wheel: If the clock spring is broken or its connector is not properly plugged in, replacing or securing the clock spring can fix the issue. 4. Worn or Loose Tie Rod End: Replacing the tie rod end is necessary, and a four-wheel alignment should be performed afterward. 5. Leaking Steering Gear Boot: Replacing the boot or reapplying grease can resolve the issue.
