1 Answers
Introduction to the reasons why the Volkswagen makes a clicking sound when turning the steering wheel: 1. Sound from the turn signal reset: If the turn signal is turned on while steering, this sound may be caused by the reset mechanism of the turn signal's automatic return. The owner needs to confirm this situation. If it is the case, then this is a normal occurrence. 2. Abnormal noise from the steering column dust cover: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it may be caused by the steering column dust cover. Due to insufficient lubrication of the dust cover, friction sounds will occur. The owner only needs to apply some grease inside the dust cover, and the noise will disappear. 3. Abnormal noise from the steering wheel: If the noise comes from inside the steering wheel, the problem is most likely caused by the airbag coil inside the steering wheel. Remove the steering wheel airbag coil and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it still occurs, replace the airbag coil. 4. Abnormal noise from the shock absorber plane bearing: If the noise comes from outside the car, it may be caused by insufficient lubrication of the shock absorber plane bearing. Simply open the hood and listen to see if the sound is coming from the top of the shock absorber to determine if it is the shock absorber plane bearing making the noise.
