The Steering lock it just a solenoid that shoots back and fort between a locking ring... i don't believe it can be whats making that noise... Im sure the steering immediate unlocked when key is detected.... if you sure the noise is coming from the steering column it could also me the tilt adjusting servos. move the steering up down in and out see it you hear it..

see photo below for example. disregard the E-Motor thats for the new models with electronic steering assistance...

Do you have VCDS? If so you can go in to Address 08 (I think) HVAC...select "output tests" and then run through all of the vents sequentially. If it is one of them you will be able to diagnose exactly which one. I've been running that test like crazy while troubleshooting my non-working blower. That is a topic for another post but I am down to the control module or the fan being bad. Got it torn down all the way to the control module and plugged the DMM in to make sure I was getting voltage and then discovered my DMM was dead....

Also what are you doing out in Johnstown? You were almost in my old neck of the woods!
