Steering noise?

[Tony]

Hi all...new member..new golf owner. I have 2014 Golf 1.6 tdi  25000 miles.

Have noticed when turning left only a noise which I can only describe as change in engine note..or some other mechanical noise .bizarre I know. Noticed on a particular bend near home..as I straighten noise goes. Also at low speed say in a car park I can hear it. Steers fine...no vibration...right turns no symptoms. Could it be the power steering ...handles fine. Seeing dealer on Saturday but not sure they will believe me! I would be interested in views...no obvious damage. Full range of steering.

In warranty which hopefully will be honored.

Thanks all....

Hi Tony....welcome to the Forums

Strange one!  

Wonder if it could be wheel bearing or CV joint if only making noise when turning one particular direction.

Let us know how it pans out

Cheers,   Trevor

After discussion with dealer have done a 30 day swap to similar golf...hopefully problem free....I noticed the dealer stuck it straight back on sale again..at higher price....dealers. ..love em😊

Couple of things with a second used Golf. ...same milage...occasional creak felt heard on depressing clutch at higher revs and a audible but not loud whine...at about 2000 rpm not sure what it could be. Dealer informed to assss. Seems to drive ok generally. I do find the dealer hard going though. ..in warranty ...couple of other golfs on the lot also showed same creak on clutch pedal movement ....may be a quirky. ...hopefully my confidence in vw and the dealer will improve.

I think it is quite common for the clutch pedal to creak in use but not sure about the whining noise though....keep an eye (or ear) on that one to hear if it gets any worse over time.
