Right. I’m on the case now. I have suffered this creek for too long so during this week away in Scotland in the Audi I do hope I can find its source. I normally travel around in one of my three jags which I fully maintain myself so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a creek in an Audi sunroof, should it? Despite adding cooking oil to the “witness mark” and closing the roof with newspaper all around the join, IT STILL CREAKS!
I have removed the rear grab handles as I thought that it could be the roof panel creaking behind them, but it still creaks without them even with a wedge between the roof panel and the roof metalwork.
Now what can I do?
It creaks with the roof tilted, but not when it is fully open. Operating cables? Mechanism?
By chance, there was a very shiny Q5 with a panoramic sunroof and painted callipers outside the pub where I went to for dinner. Obviously owned by an enthusiast who luckily came out of the pub and happy to chat. His roof creaks too despite Audi main dealer trying to stop it.
Audi MUST be aware of this problem and have a bulletin about the fix somewhere.
ilI have recorded a sound file I’ll try and upload.
