Default Anyone ever experience a squeaky suspension on their new A3?

We got our A3 last Friday, and love it so far. I'm bringing it in on Monday so the dealer can install the xenons and to have a front plate bracket installed (not that I WANT one, but it's the law here)....

Anyhow, over the last couple days of driving, we've notice when going over slight bumps or undulations in the road surface, there is a faint (but audible) squeak coming from somewhere in the front right corner of the car. I'm suspecting suspenion as it sounds like it's coming from right behind the glove box somewhere.

Default Xenon Cost

How much did they estimate for the xenon installation?
I am assuming you are getting after market ones..

Default Make sure they took out the shipping blocks...

My A3 2.0T MT6 w/sport seemed a little harsh -- and I was used to driving a TT on low profile tires. I looked at the front suspension and saw the orange hockey-pucks still in the springs = DOH! I was the first A3 my dealer had sold and (almost) prepped.

Default Well, it's technically not costing me anything....

When we had them find us a car, they couldn't locate anything with factory installed xenons in the color/package we wanted, so they found us one that everything except the xenons. They offered to have xenons installed for a couple hundred more.
