Super_Scort Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 anybody got any ideas what could cause a scraping/ scratching sound to come from what seems to be just behind the steering wheel, it does it when i turn and sounds like plastic on plastic, it has only just started doing it and seems to be staying but it has done it before and just stopped.Thank in advance Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezmanian devil Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Its dirt mate, take off ya cowling (sp?) and remover the wiper stalk, and wipe off the 2 brass prong bits and the brass ring on the back of the steering wheel, then put a little grease back on, that should sort it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you use electrical grease though, and you may need to clean the contact rings with some fine wet and dry paper if they are scored.

sortedgti2.0 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 had the same problemwith my mk 5, do what tezmanian devil said. if you dont you might need to get a new ring for the steering wheel as the grinding can cause it to ware away and make the wheel get stiff or stick half way round.
