Default creaks and groans

Hi everyone,

I had my 1.8t for two months now, and front door and b-pillars have all these creaks and groans when i go over bad roads and speed bumps. Anyone have similar problems?

Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of these annoyances?

SO ANNOYING!!!!!

Thanks...

Live with it. I've had two dealerships look at creaks and rattles. Lots of hunting with no results.

Default Re: creaks and groans

I have an A3 which has similar creaks and groans from the door etc. In my case it comes from the rubber door surrounds and the meeting with the metal of the door itself. When this gets dirty, the creaks start but it is bloody hard to keep them clean. Audi (UK anyhow) can provide a lubricant substance for these seals which can stop some of the creaks and if not will supply a kinda furry strip that attaches to the metal to stop the metal rubbing against the rubber (and creaking)!
