How many miles? Around 100k my control arm bushings were basically broken, so I replaced them with new control arms. Got rid of the sounds and the car handled better as well.

Did you use VCDS to update the battery serial # or get it done by the dealer? Otherwise replacing the battery doesn’t reset all the systems. Do a search on the forums to see what needs to be done.
