DavidAinger Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hi all, New to A3’s, well A3’s that aren’t looked after by my company anyway. I’ve got a 56 plate A3 S-Line 2.0 TDI 138 that makes a strange low-tone creeking noise when the wheel is turned and moving at low speed (e.g. - when parking or moving off from a junction). There’s no knocking noises, no creeks at speed, and no creeks or knocking noises when going over speed bumps, etc. Any ideas guys/girls? Cheers in advance David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I'd first look at the CV (constant velocity) joints. Damaged or oily gaiters are a bad sign. Grip each drive shaft with Mole or similar self-locking grips and try to turn the shaft while the transmission is locked. There should be no movement at all if the joints are fine.
