A3 Saloon Creaking Noise from underneath ??

[MPTheGadgetMan]

Hi Guys are there anyone among you getting a creaking noise (sounds like trim noise !!) from underneath - i get a creaking noise upon mounting and departing my driveway which is on a slight incline ?

Hi Munir

I get a creaking noise every time I go upstairs. I think it is probably my knees.

Joking aside. These body work noises are so annoying. My front suspension on my A6 creaks a bit. Been in at Audi no problems.

Still cost me £160 for an inspection.

Hello Karl, 

Many thanks for joining and posting the question.

Unfortunately the original poster hasn’t returned to the forum since the day after he posted, so it’s probably best to send him a PM in the hope that he will respond to you directly. 
Your, and of course the OP’s issue is almost impossible to diagnose without inspecting the car.

I think the only practical way forward is to arrange that, and get it thoroughly inspected for anything that appears loose - sometimes a spring broken near the end maybe the cause, but that’s very much a guess. If that inspection fails to identify the cause, then it might be worth spraying all rubber bushes and linkages with some ATF fluid in the hope that that will cure it in a couple of days. 
Perhaps you could let us know how you get on.

Kind regard,

Gareth.

Hi Karl,

I’m afraid I have not been able to solve this issue. I’m just living with it - it has passed the MOT so it seems it’s not a major problem, however, it is a major headache. Sorry I can’t be more helpful. All the best. 

Munir.
