Golf 5 steering wheel noise

Hello.

I have a 2007 Golf 5 BLS with 30,000 km on it, and it's making a terrible noise.

Noise in the center position, creaking sound, grinding sound. I checked everything yesterday.

Sprayed with silicone spray, I think it's coming from the steering system?

Has anyone ever heard of something like this before? Noise only occurs when it's hot.

Best regards. Thomas.

Does the focusing knob rub against the lens column cover?
So, the two halves that the turn signal and wiper lever "comes out of".

Hello.

No, nothing is rubbing there.

It seems to be coming from further down, a cover.

I checked the windshield wiper lever.

Best regards, Thomas.
