Rattle

[RedKen3]

HI my 2016 C7A6 has a loud rattle in the front left wheel, only at low speed over sharp bumps. It passed the MOT no problem with the shocks.

its fine every other time motorways etc.

i took it to Audi and the very kindly offer to investigate it for €250 an hour.

anyone else had a similar problem?

thanks

Welcome Mark,

It will be impossible to diagnose the source of your rattle, with the sparse information you provide. 
Rattle from engine, transmission, suspension etc. ….? 
Can’t you have the car inspected at an independent or local garage? 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

At a guess could it be a suspension arm, brake carrier etc.

Audi did look over it , changed two drop links with  no success, it sounds like it’s under the floor in the left passenger foot well.

Why main dealer for an eight year old car Mark? 

Don’t you have a trusted local garage who can look at it?

Can you replicate the noise by bouncing the car violently while it is stationary? If so it suggests the cause lays in part of the suspension rather than the transmission.

Thanks I’ll try bouncing it tomorrow.

I’m inclined to say wishbone area related, I had this one my Leon fr and it was the wishbones (I bought them on AUTODOC and changed myself so cost wasn’t too bad) but it’s an educated guess.

 

beat bet is going to a local garage or something to get it diagnosed as it’ll be a lot less than Audi
