    Rattle, creaking from rear near around parcel shelf - saloon

    I have been just been told that my local audi dealer 'can do more to try and resolve my issue with the 5 week old car... ! They have washed their hands of it, they believe the issue is a body panel rubbing ! Back with the leasing company now ! Poor from Audi UK and my local dealer !

    A4 B9 - Creaking / Tapping noise from rear

    Hi Gareth Have you read my thread below, my car has been in for over a week, brand new black edition, rear glass has even been out... Audi are speaking with AudiAG and I hope something is resolved this week, my leasing company even mentioned rejecting the car... long way from that hopefully...

    Just dropped into Audi on my way past and they did exactly that, I drove and the master tech sat in the rear with other seat down, he tried a few things and then put some lube on the lock, no joy... so back to the original appointment on Friday.

    it’s a week old today and I noticed at the weekend there is an annoying creaking from somewhere inside the car around the rear parcel shelf.. I took the rear seats down and it’s more prominent... I can’t find it when stationary and I think it’s somwwhere under the parcel shelf... Any ideas...

    New A4 Black Edition arrived today - pics

    Thanks, delighted with the colour... It’s brilliant, I had a 320 touring previously and I was concerned changing as i really enjoyed the rear wheel drive. This is really composed at speed and is not as harsh as I’d expect on those 19’s - it’s so quiet with the acoustic glass... Yes, please...
