The rear driver's side has been making a weird intermittent creaking sound upon braking at low speeds... It's seemingly when I apply the brakes, every time I press the brake pedal down, and then goes away once the brake is completely applied. It doesn't sound like a scraping sound, it's more like a dull but metallic creaking sound that I'd associate with something like suspension. Never heard this once on my 8P A3 and that was 6 years older than this car...
Then today, on a roundabout I could hear another squeaking coming from what sounded like the the passenger side rear. This definitely sounded like some kind of spring sound as it seemed to be coming from higher up, almost from behind the rear seats, I guess where the rear spring seats inside the car. It was a similar noise as the driver's side rear noise, but I noticed it as the bumps in the road were making it more of a 'rhythmic' creaking sound.
The car was also lowered at the front a few weeks ago on Eibach Pro springs. Today I've noticed a weird 'twang' noise when parking, turning the wheel from centre to the right, only a few degrees of lock. It made that sound a few times. I'm not really sure what it would be, I also had the front top mounts and bearings changed at the same time as the springs being installed.
Any ideas? The car is fairly low mileage, 53k and was just serviced this year before I bought it.
