Scraping Noise when coming out of Full lock

[KevinM2k]

Hi,

I have just taken car in to garage as I was occasionally getting like a crunching noise when going from full lock (turning left) back to straight again.

I took a cupra engineer out and reproduced.

He investigated and couldn't find any problems, took out 2 other cupra borns and said they had the same thing.

They have now called it a 'characteristic' or 'feature' of the car...

This does not sound right to me, does anyone else get this occasionally?

Thanks
Kevin

Yes. Mine doesn't do it all the time and I'm not sure I could reproduce it. It can happen left or right. Seems more likely if I move the steering wheel quickly. I describe it as a kind rumble that I feel in the wheel. I'm a great one for seeing things in my head. On this one I see a toothed belt jumping the shallow teeth of a pulley on the steering rack.
If it continues I will take it in.

My car makes a funny noise in the circumstances you describe. It is a vibration I can feel through the wheel and I can hear a sound at the same time. I wonder if it could be linked to the fact that the car can steer itself? If it is a fault exhibited by all or many cars, I can imagine it being fixed by a software update ( my guess is it’s a software problem)

Is it not the splines of the rubber bellows on the front axle rubbing and popping over each other?

It could be but it's a reasonably high kind of frequency and a feel through the wheel. Have you noticed anything on either of your Borns?

I have it I think. I feel it as a vibration through the wheel and a noise. Was worried my steering had a problem but been too lazy to take it to the dealer. Maybe its normal?

Nope, but I had 2 Golfs that used to clunk when your reached full RHS lock.

It may become normal if VAG decide its not dangerous. I can't imagine a design where the steering mechanism can cause a vibration felt in the wheel that isn't going to raise questions among owners.
I am more concerned about it now than I was.
Anyone picked up anything from Facebook ID3 or ID3 forums?
Can't imagine it's limited to the Born.
