Model Year:
As of 2014 up to 2018
Subject:
Intermediate steering shaft
Symptom:
Customers complain about disturbing noises coming from the footwell area on the driver's side while
steering.
Cause:
The surface of the foam rubber seal in the sealing sleeves starts to wear and crumble due to high temperatures. This effect causes the reported noise.
Remedial
Action:
In the event of a customer complaint on a vehicle that:
•
Was produced before the date of introduction (02 June 2016): Replace the existing intermediate
steering shaft with a new, modified intermediate steering shaft with felt ring, see Workshop
Manual Workshop Manual '482819 Removing and installing intermediate steering shaft'.
•
Was produced after the date of introduction (02 June 2016) or was already replaced by the
new type of inter-mediate steering shaft (with felt ring): Remove intermediate steering shaft,
see Workshop ManualWorkshop Manual '482819 Removing and installing intermediate steering
shaft' and rework using a temperature-resistant lubricant spray as described in the 'Work Procedure'
section.

Information
Lubricating steering shaft seals (inside and outside)
•
The intermediate steering shaft has two blue sealing rings, which must be lubricated separately
because the lubricant cannot flow effectively from one sealing ring to the other  Figure 1. Left passenger compartment side, right - engine compartment side.
•
Lubricate each sealing ring separately and hold the shaft vertically while doing this.
•
First lubricate the upper sealing ring, then turn the shaft over and lubricate the lower sealing ring.
•
The two rings are visible in the assembly overview shown in Figure 2.
•
Both rings are identical. The ring on the passenger compartment side is cut away for clarity. Note
the felt insulator in between  Figure 2.

side, right - engine compartment side
