Subject:Scraping steering wheel - not screws
From:Ben Cichowski

Hi all,

(1988 Wolfsburg Vanagon 2WD, MT, ej22)

I have a scraping sound in my steering wheel. I read archives a while ago and discovered that this is likely due to the 2 screws under there scraping along the brass ring. I checked mine and thought that could be it as the screws were a little loose, and there appeared to be some wear on the ring...but the scraping sound persists, even with tight screws. 

It seems like my wheel sits too close to the column - like right against the plastic column covers. Is there supposed to be a nylon washer/spacer in there or something that I'm missing - or is there an adjustment that I'm not seeing in Bentley that brings the wheel out just a touch?

Thanks - Ben
