Creaking noise when steering is close to full lock

Just noticed this too last night driving in rain. Only on one side though... Car was serviced this week only. Will have to monitor it possibly check it out

Affecting my GTI only on full left... I'm taking the car to VW soon so have some other stuff checked out... I'll add this to the list.

what is the TPI for this fix?

I have just experienced the same issue with my GTI (3 years old, 23,000km), and I've never noticed it before. And yep, today it's pouring with rain!

I start to hear a grinding noise at about 1 full turn of lock, and it gets louder the more I turn the wheel; the noise is only present when the car is actually moving. Bizarre. I've had my 3-year service about a month back, and an end-of-warranty inspection at a specialist a week before that, both of which gave my car a clean bill of health, so it'd be bad luck if it was a mechanical failure now! But if all that's required is lubrication of a boot or similar, and if it only happens in the wet, then I'm slightly less concerned. :)

I'll listen carefully for the noise next time I take the car out in the dry, and update my post depending on the outcome.

EDIT: Since it's dried up, the grinding noise has indeed gone away.

This really sounds like the same thing thats happening to my polo 1.2 tsi... only happens when im doing a parking or u turn maneuveur.. and only when i turn right..
