Thanks!

Hi,
Have you had your Wheel and Column Switch off? Or has there been any worked performed which would require the Wheel or Column Switch's removal?
There is a specified Gap between the very Tip of the Steering Column and the Sheet Metal Face of the Column Switch which must be maintained. This Gap is 55±0.5mm or 2.16±0.02 in. Without this Gap, the Wheel will make the sound you describe. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
