Afternoon all,
As the title suggests I have a creaking sound coming from the front of my car. It's a 66 plate 1.0 TFSI Sport that's done 7000 miles. It doesn’t seem to be coming from the suspension as I can't replicate the sound when I mount a kerb with either front wheel, only when going over sharp speed bumps with both wheels. I also can't here it outside when I have the fully window down. The noise is only really audible when the windows are up.
The noise sounds like some sort of plastic is flexing and making a creaking sound. It appears to be coming from front behind the dash/drivers foot well.
Any idea's what it could be? Or what I can check? It's going into Audi on 28th for another fault so I want to try narrowing it down to make things easier.
So far I've;
Opened the door when going over bump to make sure it's not the door seals.
Checked the window seals
Emptied all storage compartments in the vehicle, including the boot and the spare wheel.
Checked that it's not the seat belt.
I've even had a look and feel under the bonnet, including rocking the engine a little.
Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any idea's what it could be? Or what I can check? It's going into Audi on 28th for another fault so I want to try narrowing it down to make things easier.
Cheers
Finny
