“After purchasing an 08 Touareg with 120000 miles, I have found it to have a very loud steering noise, like a blender on low speed setting. Along with the noise, it seems to lose some if not all steering. All of this happens when the car is bellow 1000 RPM, whether it be stationary, moving, in reverse or not. If the RPM is above that, steering is normal, no sound is heard, and all is normal. This can be dangerous when parking, as it is a low speed low RPM situation. …”
