a4 b8 rattles and squeaks
i own a 09 a4 sline executive and am new to the whole forum thing, i have had numerous quality issues with the interior
1.A known issue with audi , the front doors creak when the car gets wet or whilst driving in the rain it sounds like the door is moving up and down but audi will fix this under warranty they lubricate the seals with expensive lub and it fixes the problem.
2 A rattle from the seatbelt were it attaches to the seat this is simply fixed with self adhesive felt pads .
3 The major problem i had was the drivers center armrest creaking, i fixed it by removing the plastic part that is shown when the leather arm rest is extended towards the dash,the top plastic trim clips off and i stuck self adhesive flock paper to the under side and cliped the parts back together again.
4 The other noise which i cant narrow down yet is in the rear passenger area its either a door issue or rear seat it can be heard all the time but is more noticable at below 12 degrees celsus.
if you have a fix for the rear seat area can u reply please

my center arm rest creaks when lifted too. As does the armrest of just about every A4 I sat in at the dealer...
but that's the only nose I've had. 9000 miles so far.

I have a seat belt rattle but not at the place you are mentioning. I have the rattle in the B pillar where the seat belt goes inside. I think there is something loose inside the pillar that holds seat belt tight during a crash. Dealer is saying that is normal. But it is really bugging me. Any suggestions

Oh yeah, I'm getting a rattle from inside the driver and passenger doors, the dash, and from the rear seat. It's really bugging me and I'm at 3500 miles.
