Power Steering or Airbag?
I have a VS Berlina with driver side airbag and power steering and at low speeds there is a loud squeaking coming from somewhere along the steering column. Does anyone know what this could be? I've recently changed power steering fluid but ive always had this problem way before that. I've heard it could be the airbag. Is there any way to stop it because its really getting on my nerves.
Cheers

It probably is coming from the steering column - where the column passes thru the firewall there is a grommet which gets dry and squeaks when the wheel is turned. The easiest way to stop this squeak is to lubricate this grommet - either from under the car (best method), or spraying WD40 over the general area under the brake master cylinder. You may also be able to spray WD40 using a spray tube from inside the car if you push the carpet out of the way. It's better to use a longer lasting oil than WD40 by the way.
