Hey, im having a bit of trouble with my is220d. Over christmas i hadnt driven the car for approx 3 weeks. And now its developed a whirring/rubbing noise whenever i turn the steering wheel. Ive greased the dust boot in the bulkhead bu the sound is still there. It sounds like its coming from inside the plastic sheilding behind the steering wheel.

 

Does anyone have any ideas as to what it is?

 Thanks, Jamie.

The noise is happening whenever the wheel is turned. Its noisier when turned clockwise.

Also i didnt mention its sticking slightly when on long roads or motorways having to un stick it when making any small movements

Well, that doesn't sound too good.  In fact, it sounds a bit dangerous.

Unless there are any fault codes appearing, it looks like you might have to get a mechanic to take a look.
