Got a plastic squeak?

Roque · 11-03-2007, 06:28 PM

My S4 has recently developed a plastic squeak near the shifter. It was heard every time I shifted as the clutch was let out. After reading a VW Vortex thread, I bought some Krytox GPL 105. Krytox (made by Dupont) is made specifically for plastic squeaks and weatherstrip squeaks.

Took my center console (armrest section) out and brushed some of this stuff on the interfacing surfaces between the center console and the shift area. Annoying squeaks are gone.

Krytox GPL 105 (liquid):
VW/Audi P/N G 052 172 A1 ($50 from VW, $60 from Audi)

Krytox GPL 205 (paste):
VW/Audi P/N G 052 172 A3. My dealer didn't have this. So I bought it from Techinical Marketing in MN (952-442-1140) $33.32.

When they do, Barry said it would still cost $20 to ship.
