    @Cameleon72 with all those faults, have you asked VW for your money back? What has been the Dealer’s response to all these issues?
    Any advice to share for those that don’t have the skill or wherewithal to pull a new car apart and fix it themselves?

      I always roadtest the car that I’m going to buy, often more than once and if I see imperfections or small rattles, either point them out or perhaps don’t buy it. I know such badly put together car that needs fixing straight after the purchase is just not for me.

If you try to do full turn you will notice this squeak rubbing noise, like something rubbing inside from cable or plastic, and once you detect sweet spot only on one place you can than vry shortly turn steering wheel left or right, and only on that spot and it will make annoying sound in each direction .
        This is a bit late now I guess, but the noise you're hearing when turning the steering wheel can be the clockspring. It's the cables between the buttons on the steering wheel and the rest of the car. If the steering wheel was turned independent of the clockspring, eg when it was taken off, the clockspring might always be one turn to the left or right when the wheel are otherwise pointed straight forward. The clockspring has about half a turn 'in reserve' so if you turn the steering wheel full left / right it might stretch / damage the clockspring if it's not put on properly.
