What to Do If the Volkswagen Sagitar Steering Wheel Makes Abnormal Noises?
2 Answers
Here are the solutions for abnormal noises from the Sagitar steering wheel: 1. If the steering wheel makes abnormal noises, you need to remove the steering wheel airbag, take off the two iron springs on it, wrap both sides of the springs with black tape for two rounds, and then restore the airbag cover to its original state to solve the steering wheel noise. 2. You can also directly go to a 4S store for repair. The following are the reasons for steering wheel noise: 1. The steering column is not lubricated, causing high friction. 2. Insufficient power steering fluid. 3. Problems with the universal joint. 4. The rubber bushings of the chassis suspension stabilizer bar links are aged and hardened. 5. The plane bearing is damaged.
I also experienced steering wheel noise when driving my Volkswagen Sagitar, with sounds like squeaking or gurgling. At first, I thought it was normal wear and tear, but the noise became more frequent, especially noticeable during turns. I checked the screws and connections under the steering wheel and found some looseness, so I tightened the screws myself and applied some grease, which temporarily alleviated the issue. However, the problem recurred later. After inspection at the 4S shop, the technician said it might be due to aging steering column bearings or power steering pump issues. Replacing the new components solved the problem. I suggest you don’t overlook similar situations, as noises often indicate potential hazards in the steering system, affecting safe driving. During regular maintenance, remember to have the repair shop inspect steering system components, especially when the mileage is high, as problems are more likely to occur.
