Random weird noise from steering column
Hey guys, from Hong Kong here and I have a 2015 C250 with the AMG steering wheel.
Recently a very strange noise(turn up your volume when viewing the video pls) would appear every few days whenever the steering wheel is turned. Standing still and moving both bring that noise back.
I have noticed that the noise comes when I drive the car for extended period of time, like about an hour. But it would just go away the next day and comes back after a week or so.
Took to the dealer and they are having trouble locating the root of the problem because they couldn't bring the noise back.
Can any of you share some wisdom here? Been to the dealer twice already and couldn't get it fixed, it's annoying to say the least.

Sounds like the electric steering has a problem ... There's a motor whine that's not normal ... The w205 steering should be silent

I am guessing that's not the motor? Thanks

The problem is that the dealer could not "re-produce" the noise while the car was at the shop. So they don't know what to fix.
It just randomly pops up one day and go away the next. The worst kind of problem.

I'm having the same issue.
Dealer changed the whole steering shaft.
1Hr after collection the sound came back!.
and it occurs again on the 2nd day as well.
any one manage to resolve this?

It's coming from the engine bay, spray lots of WD40 down the steering column. The steering column passes through a rubber bush and that's what squeeks. It's quite surprising how the noise travels and gives the illusion that it's coming from the wheel.

Take it back to the dealership as it maybe covered under warranty however there was also a recall due to a steering issue where as they needed to add more grease to a part or see the wear and replace it.

I actually heard it is an interior piece below the steering column that is making the noise unless this rubber piece is the same piece?

When I first had this problem I was convinced the noise was coming from inside the cabin so sprayed copious amounts of ptfe spray behind the wheel to no effect. only when I sprayed in the engine bay did the noise disappear.
