Does the noise sound like plastic rubbing on plastic? If yes, it may be the bearing of the steering columb entering the gear box. It is a known culprit. It has been replaced in my car w/o charge. I guess there may be a DC-warranty-plan if customers ask for and the dealer supports the claim. It is a larger exercise, since the engine train has to be lowered.
