Creaking/Squeaking/rattle noise on doors on roadster

Windbag · 11-20-2001, 11:46 AM

Finally after many many visits to the local dealer, and a alot of rude behavior I wrote to the VP of Audi US and 7 weeks later results came.

The fix for the noise is a part for the door. A door striker made out of graphite. No metal on metal noise and voila the noise is gone.

Finally, after 1 year and 6 months, my $45,000 German car doesn't squeak and rattle like a Chevy. Ain't it great. Now if I could get rid of the purring gurgle noise on acceleration when the turbo clicks in and an electric seat life would be perfect.

Write back with questions.

It didn't.

But, it did relieve the squeaking.

But, it did relieve the squeaking. __________________ 2002 6spd \| smoked taillights \| ECS slotted rotors \| EBC Greenstuff \| ice>Link \| XM \| V1 hardwire \| RNS-E \| Bluetooth TEL Member, Mac BT lalala6000@mac.com Dreamhost users: please vote for Zimbra!
