Hi All,
For those who remember, I had a thread going a while back about a 'metal' rattle sound coming from the rear of my 09 A3. It seems to happen when going quite slow (30 or less, sometimes 40) on bumpy roads, but it also happens occasionally when it's not so bumpy, and it NEVER happens when I'm trying to show it someone lol. I think it's inside the car but I'm not sure...
Basically, I've pretty much checked everything and I don't think it's the seats or anything like that, although I've convinced myself plenty of times it could have been. I have Weitec coilovers and Eibach ARB's fitted, and I'd read on here that NHN had a prob with the Eibach rear roll bar knocking. I took the car to a local garage today to check out the ARB and they said it was fine, plenty of room and no signs of it knocking on anything and they advised that it's probably the coilovers rattling as that happens sometimes. Something to do with the spring and what it's seated on both being metal - and they charged me £26 for this info! - but I'm not convinced, so if I prove 'em otherwise, refund plz.
So I'm asking - has anyone experienced noisy coilovers before? And since I know it's not the ARB, what should I look at next before ripping the whole interior apart?
Thanks
