steering knock on T5.1

anyone got the steering Knocking on their nice new shape T5gp? According to VW it's only my one doing it as they cured this on the T5. Can hardly feel it when the weather is really cold, but rest of the time it's there...getting worse. Time for another visit.

Thats got to be annoying, new van, same old issue......

I have noticed a slight knock, only on roundabouts though. Something else which a mate has also experienced and is having it looked at, is a slight hesitation when you accelerate after going over a nip in the road. As my mate described it, and I have noticed the same, if you do the same journey regularly, it happens in the same place. You come over a brow of a hill and as you start to descend and accelerate, the van feels restricted briefly. Im not going to do anything about either until it goes in for a service as it's not annoying enough and I don't have time at the moment anyway.

Im suffering too! Mine seems worse when its first running in in the morning, usually on 3/4 lock with a little bit of acceleration or braking. Generally if the van is balanced nicely its no problem, but otherwise I can guarantee somethings going to happen! First service coming up so will check out what bullshit they are feeding at the mo

When turing the steering a low speeds there is a vibration and it can be felt though the whole of the van told vw about this and they said it was the power steering pump they have changed this and the problem is still there been to vw again they have now told me they have notified vw uk about the problem and are waiting for a reply i think its something to do with the rack

Also just a note to say that I had both top mounts , shocks and track rods done as well and it made no difference still knocking

Hi
Got an annoying knock on mine too - 2005 2.5 T28 - in for an MOT tomorrow and I'm hoping they find the problem - even took the undertray off so they can have a good view of everything. Replaced loads of bits recently too!!! MMMMMMM! bloody frustrating!

Let you know if they find anything interesting
