Is a humming steering noise common with the 06-07 GTI?
I recently noticed a humming noise when I parallel park (noticed this when I'm at a stand still and then crank the wheel and slowly accelerate) or parking in my garage. I can't recall this noise always being there so I asked my dealer to look into it - I was told that this is the normal sound that the electro-mechanical steering system makes and that I shouldn't sweat it. Seems to me that this noise is a recent condition - could this be something else like a bearing issue, etc. Since they could not replicate the noice, they could not diagnose it further. Thoughts?
