Hello,
W203 C180K 2003, 34,000 miles. All tyres have good tread and are balanced and even wear.
Have noticed that the steering makes a grinding/groaning noise when turning steering even a little+very slight vibration through wheel when this happens. Noise seems to come from area of the dashboard..?? Cannot hear any steering noise with bonnet open...but then engine noise drowns it out anyway...
Most noticeable when car driven slowly, but then as speed increases it drowns out the noise...so I think it is there all the time.
Now, I thought perhaps it was something as silly as the steering wheel rubbing on the steering column shroud...but I think not.
Car has Service Plus cover...but I dread going to the stealers...takes them at least 3 visits to fix things in my experience.
Any ideas???
