About 6 months ago I bought a used a3 sportback at 25k miles, now it has about 45k miles. I've noticed a lot of rattles lately and honestly I believe they've always been there but... "honeymoon period" made me not notice them. I tracked them down to these areas:
-Passenger side jet-style airvent(rattle)
-Upper side of driver's door card(vibrating noise)
-Drivers seat(squeak)
-Somthing behind the seatbelt adjuster(rattle)
Besides that, some mechanical noises:
On a slow turn in to any side, a humming noise(pump whine?) and a rattle(like a socket wrench but slower) that speeds up with wheel speed... I'm thinking a wheel bearing but there isn't any play in the wheels so I'm not sure.
I live in Belgium and travel at least 20 miles of terrible road per day, busy road, hasn't been repaired since my father was a young man :-( So I'm not surprised but it feels bad anyhow.
If anyone has noticed any one of these, please share your experiences/solutions.
