Hi

I purchased a 2018 Macan GTS back in December from an OPC. There is a concerning creak from the steering at slow speeds which sounds like a strained motor. It's not rubbing as it is audible when the steering takes strain rather than turns. I have attached a YT video to help demonstrate



Rather disappointingly the OPC cannot recreate the noise (which in itself is surprising as it's constant). Of course I'm currently unable to demonstrate it due to social distancing measures. I have sent the video for their comment.

Has anyone experienced something similar? The car has the power steering plus.

Thanks

Marcus

Although it says a modified steering shaft has been used since 2016 and for later cars the remedial action is lubrication

Thanks. I'll check that with the OPC.
