'Whup' Noise from air suspension

[RevolvingSteve]

I am experiencing a very strange noise, specifically when the suspension drops suddenly (driving off a speed hump or going over a crest). It makes a very quick 'Whup / Whoop' noise, it seems to be coming from the front but seems to move from side to side.  It does have the allroad air suspension, does anyone have a similar experience?

I'd recommend getting the system checked asap but it could be suspension arms instead of a airbag etc.

Hi, have you found out what the problem was? I’m experiencing the same problem. I own a Audi A6 C7 quattro. Thanks in advance 🙂 Greetings, Stephan

You won't get a reply from Rolling Steve. He has not been back to the forum since he wrote his question. You would do better to create your own topic in the hope that it might be answered by others.

Hi Stephan,

I haven’t ‘solved’ it, but I spoke with the original owner and he said it started making the noise when the rear airbags were fitted, which are aftermarket ones. I will get them to check bushes etc next time it has a service, but suspect it’s down to those and I won’t be changing them.

Any similarly with your situation?
