Noises in the cockpit

[kareemsafwat]

found in a MK6 VW Golf forum, that noised from both sides are coming from the door locks and were fixed after tightening the door locks.
sprayed WD-40 on all door locks and my noises were gone
now all i've got left is the steering wheel clicking noise, which in other posts all of you are relating it to the steering column, hope anyone can find a solution to it.

Are you sure it is not torque steer from that kia 1.6 you were racing hahahahaha. Saw the vids on youtube last night mate hehehehe.

 

[kareemsafwat]

looooooooooooooooooooool

could be the key mate, that is the only sound in mine

 

[kareemsafwat]

hey Rob, no it's not the key, it's clicking sound from inside the steering wheel, it makes me wanna destroy it, however i dont hear it when i turn on the stereo or the windows, but just knowing that it's there is killing me.
I even have seen a forum on how to replace the steering wheel for a MK5 golf, but found that they aren't the same i can't find any screw for it, and don't wanna risk the airbag.

i would take it back to the dealar, but remember that every car makes noise on ruff roads. mine makes different noise after being sat in the sun all day but once its cooled down its fine again, plus the key makes a noise but its not loud lol

 

[kareemsafwat]

i've took it to the dealer and they advised that it's tolerable and acceptable, i insisted to check and they only tightened it up, and the sound is the same.
we have to do everything by ourselves so we can be satisfied.

 

[rob_4130]

if u have another dealer near by take it there. i dont deal with the dealer near me as they tried to rip me off with my first ibiza, i did get enjoyment out of telling them i had order my boc from somewhere eles tho

 

[kareemsafwat]

we only have 1 dealer in Egypt, and i already escalated to Seat in spain, and all they do is just forward the email to the dealer in egypt, and everything is tolerable

 

[evgeni432]

and everything is tolerable

That is so true

 

[kareemsafwat]

Did anyone find a solution for the steering wheel noise ??

If the noise you're on about sounds like this

Then yes.

 

[kareemsafwat]

well your sound seems like a suspension noise which i have in the rear of the car ( which also i don't have any soln for it)

the noise in the steering wheel is like this (very obvious @ 30 sec) :

Hey people. New to the forum here and I experienced the same rattling noise on my Ibiza 6J. In my case it was the fusebox screw on the right. But you shouldn't try to screw it too hard because you might break the plastic part behind the fusebox (what happened with me).

My suggestion is removing the screw, inserting a washer and tightening it with the washer.

Hope it works for you. For me it did even without the washer.

Cheers!

 

[kareemsafwat]

thx togashi, i'll try it tomorrow and see if it works with me

Didn't work for me, i can hear it coming from inside the steering wheel.

I used to own a Vauxhall and I have to say the build quality of my Cupra isn't quite at that level. In fact it's a bit shocking in places for a VAG product.

 

[kareemsafwat]

i can't live with these noises from the B-pillar & steering wheel and rear suspension and the expansion valve from the A.C

 

[kareemsafwat]

finally, seat dealer knew what is causing the noise in the steering wheel, it is the airbag coil, and there is no fix i have to replace the whole part, which costs 3000 L.E = 300 £ .
expansion valve = 250 £

 

[nightflight]

under warranty though surely, so it'll cost you nothing?

I mean, they could claim that the airbag is a wear and tear part, ie. once it's been deployed, it needs replacing, but you've not deployed it, so it shouldn't need replacing, unless it's faulty, which it is, so they should replace it.
