Squeaky Steering Wheel Question
I have a 2004 PSD CC, and the steering wheel is starting to squeak a lot especially when I turn the wheel to the left. It only squeaks in small increments of steering inputs, not during long full turns.
So how do I get rid of the squeak? Is there a place that I can lube with white grease or WD-40? Or is it a bad place to spray anything into the steering column? Let me know. Thanks.

I've tried everything, but mine has always squeaked since new, and only in cold weather. I just put up with it now. Been hoping that someone would figure this out for good, but every suggestion I've seen hasn't worked for me.

Mine was squeeking bad too, i finally figured out it was coming from the steering shaft boot that is under the dash where the shaft goes through the fire wall. I sprayed some silicone spray on it and the squeek was gone.

There's a rubber or plastic dust cover where the shaft enters the steering gear. A couple drops of oil on the shaft where that was rubbing cured the squeek in mine.
