Seen a few posts about people’s steering racks failing.

I’m now getting a noise at low speeds while manoeuvring. It’s not a clicking or ticking as such but sounds like somethings under strain. Not checked if you can hear it from outside the car yet and doesn’t need to be full lock.
If car if parked and engine off and you wiggle the steering you can’t hear anything at all. So a bit perplexed.
 
I'm reading quite a few 8Y issues ATM, what's going on with Audi as the B9 had allot of software issues, it's looking like Audi are dropping the ball a bit on newer cars.
