Hi Guys,
I called the SC today and spoke to the chef of service. He explained that there are currently 2 possible sources of the issue:
The steering rack or the shock tower braces.
In my case they will focuss on the shock tower braces and there is a 50/50 chance that this will resolve it.
They would not share the service bulletin with me when I asked them however he was willing to explain a bit more technical what was the content.
Basically they say the shock tower braces are a part of the carrying structure of the car and they take care of the stiffness.
It seems there is some torsion on these parts that are producing the noices. They will modifiy this part (so not replace it) with some rivets.
Doing this should alter the torsion areas and remove the sound.
They will know directly after doing the modification if it resolved the issue. In case it did not they will have to order the steering rack and replace this.
It is now confirmed that they will do this during my first regular 20K km service visit that is scheduled for 09/07.
I will keep you informed on the outcome.
Thank you so much for keeping this thread updated. This is so much needed.
Do you think it would be possible for tecnicians to share an insight of the solution similar to
Thank you!
