Door rattle

Featured Replies

Hello everybody new here,purchased a 2021 A3 saloon back in November I absolutely love it,

just have a rattle from drivers door it’s coming from the door trim panel,when I press on trim panel from drivers seat it stops,is this common,as I have noticed that newer Audi’s tend to be not as good quality as older Audi’s

any body else have this 

No, no rattling on mine, although it's still relatively new. To be honest in my experience rattles almost always occur due to some previous disturbance so maybe the door panel has been off in the past. If it's a dealer purchase take it back and ask them to rectify it.

Unfortunatly it’s passed the 30 day period,

it’s not a massive issue just annoying,

I’ll take the door card off when it gets warmer and look 

Lots of anti rattle tape on the net of varying thicknesses. Worth having some handy when you take the door card off just in case. I find proper car cloth electrical insulation tape deals with any loose  bits and pieces  has good adhesion.

I don’t suppose you have any tips or help getting door card off,can’t get owners manual 

There is a good video on the net. Google - audi a3 8y door card removal. It is a 2021 car. You will need trim removal levers and t35 socket (I think). You need to remove the speaker cover first to reveal two bolts and then third bolt near the door storage tray. The door card is clipped in place. There is one electrical connector to disconnect. Find the video as it is very useful. Good luck.
