Creaking steering wheel

[PJVTS]

when i turn either left or right??

any ideas

Ive got the same, RTE at my local dealer said it was more of a problem than my nackered gearbox.

 

[PJVTS]

i phoned my dealor and they were trying to tell me it might not be coverd under warranty!??

Are they doing it??

 

[Pete]

Apparently according to the RTE I should book it in for things like that as they can fault it and not for trivial things like a nackered gearbox.

My 172 did it, and my 182 does it. It just sounds like the cowl on mine, especially as its worse when it gets hot. Yesterday on track at Silverstone I could here it through my helmet.

its so bloody anoying, creaking just turn the stereo up lol!!

Ive booked it in so ill just have to hope!

Do you recon ill be ok getting it done under warranty then?

 

[Lee]

Im sure when I asked about a creaking and rattling noise on my 172 they said it wasnt covered by warranty.

mines in for this tomorrow the parts turned up. "rotary switch" exactly the same symptoms, if the car had been in the sun for a while it was worse than ever



only taken a fortnight for the part so not to bad. (oh this is a warranty fix btw)

 

[PJVTS]

thats a joke dont you think!!??

 

[Pete]

Squeaking and rattles are covered by warrenty until they cant solve them then theyre not from other peoples experiences.

 

[PJVTS]

Matlow- mine gets worse in the sun as well!! ive just spoke to the garage i got the car from and if renault dont do it under warranty there going to pay for it.



Nightmare!!

Mine did this, has it booked in, and they changed the air bag switch behind the steering Wheel, and no creaking noise now, and it was done under warranty.

Might be the anti roll bars drying up.

sigh sounds like it may be a double visit to the dealers, bugger

mine done this a while back and it veried in volume with the temperature etc until it got to the fustrating point and I took it to the dealer, who found it was a problem with a rubber gaitor on the steering column, not sure what he did, if he wacked WD40 on it or whatever is for him to know, but the part was never replaced and I have never heard the noise again...

reet, the car was with the dealer for approx 2 hours and they changed the rotary switch. as this problem seems to be fixed by a different process each time i wonder how many fixs for this we can clock up between us if its a design fault on the clio

anyway whatever they did seems to have worked for now so no complaints here.
