Steering vibration turning at low speed - 2021 VRS

[Guest]

Hello to everyone 

 

Picked up a 2021 VRS from Skoda Newcastle about 3 weeks ago, nice car in Gray.  I would appreciate your advice on an issue I’m experiencing.  When driving at low speed, parking / turning at say 5 mph 90% right/left lock the steering vibrates.  Any ideas?

Petrol or diesel? Last time I had what you describe it turned out to be a bulge on the sidewall of the tyre on inside.

Mine has occasionally done this…no idea why.

Apologies the car is a petrol.  I’ll get the inner walls checked on Tuesday.

Possibly feeling the front differential?

Maybe, it's a bit disconcerting while moving when it happens.

If it feels almost like a notch or light thump it could be the diff, only noticeable at low speeds at full or close to full lock

Would say it’s neither, I attached a video but I’m not sure if it’s playing correctly via the site.

I would say this is definitely not normal.  I have mine over a year and a half now and never noticed anything similar.

Exactly, I've had quite a few cars over the years and never experienced this.  The car goes into Skoda for 3 days investigation on the 4th of July.  If they manage to fix it, I'll keep you updated.

Def not normal keep us posted cheers

You would guess it would be diff related.  It could be worth a search for 2021 Golf GTI forums to see if anyone else has the same issue as they are the same engine/diff.  Its always handy to be as informed as possible before the dealer taking a look.

Could be a faulty CV joint on driveshaft or even problem with driveshaft boot (which is why it only occurs near full lock).  If it is a 2021 car then almost certainly a fault since manufacturer as wouldn’t have worn that quick

 

If it was a 10 year old car then would be wear and tear

Update from Skoda Uk - they have instructed the dealer to replace the DSG gearbox, apparently they are aware of the issue.  As soon as I find out any details I’ll post here.

 

How can it be the gearbox when it only occurs at 90% right/left lock? Not in a straight line?  I’m baffled.
