My telescopic motor is also much noisier when it's cold. Sort of sounds like the motor is struggling under a heavier load. I've tried lubrication/grease but that didn't make any difference. Not sure what the problem is and the dealer didn't seem to think it could be repaired. I didn't ask for the replacement cost but I'm sure it will be a few bucks.

if you've done it yourself, did you find where noise was coming from? when did you get it lubed?

I did the lube about a year ago, and just did whatever gears I could see after removing the steering column covers. Not sure if shims or anything else can be done. Thought I saw a thread somewhere on that but couldn't find it back.
