Did it cure the noise?

So far so good but only done 15 miles! I've done the usual low speed take off and turning moves (aka roundabouts). Will be listening very carefully for the next two weeks!

Cheers

Was the van making a noise whilst turning at slow speeds and also when pulling away? My DSG has been in 3 times now, but they still do not seem to know what is causing the noise, I suggested the drive shaft and was dismissed.

Yes. That was exactly what it was doing!

Can you describe the symptoms in more detail?

Been out in our Cali today, noticed a bit of a noise when turning left and right and road speeds, don't think I've noticed it before, but could just be paranoid!

No noise at low speed, seems to be at 30+ mph I guess.

Will need to take it for a quiet run next weekend to check further

Only a few days warranty left......mine is a March 10 facelift......

Should I ask the dealer to look at the drive shafts as a precaution. Is it a known and regular problem.......

Did it sound like this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25914532/Steering pump.3gp I had a the steering pump replaced but still made the same noise.

driveshafts are a known issue on pre face lift so now reason not to assume they aren't on the later ones
