I wonder if there are any TSBs for the A7. Does anybody know anything about that?

I've got rattles in both lower door speakers, in which if you put your hand on the grill cover and hold it, the vibration stops so both speaker grills will be replaced this Friday.

Also, I do have the high frequency vibration on rough roads, though mine seems to sound like it's coming more from the area of the heads up display rather then the glove box area.

Let us know how it went with the speaker grills. Good luck!

Picked up mine this week and there is a loud and annoying rattle which seems to be coming from within the glove box, as it is louder when driving with it open. A few other noises as well. Though I love the car, both of my previous RS4's and my last gen S6 Avant were built much better and never had any noises...dissapointing.

You got me there!

Actually, if I wait until then I should be able to pay cash. It was always a question of whether somebody in my situation should make the purchase, not whether I could make the purchase.

Both speaker grills evidently had broken clips, hence the rattling. With the new grills/clips no longer an issue.

Now the only thing to get worked on, is the buzz/rattle coming from the area of the heads up display. The problem is that it's so intermittent it's a never ending battle to have the mechanic in the car at the same time its going off.
