    More noise

    I have a new (just over 1,000 miles) 2008 S4 Avant with Tiptronic and I've noticed when I leave this parking garage and pull up next to the booth to pay, if the car's in gear, I hear a sort of metallic rattling noise which sounds like it's coming from under the car. If I put it into neutral, I don't hear it. The parking garage exit is kind of an uphill incline. I haven't heard it when I'm sitting on level pavement. Any suggestions ?

    you bought a used car. how do you know what the last owner did to it. i have been in and drove plenty of s4's and not one has ever had a rattle or any quality issues. ask any pro, audi is the best in the business in terms of interior quality. my sister had an is300 and her now husband used to have a is250. both of them regret ever buying those cars. i drove them as well and i couldnt believe how poor the materials used were and how poorly layed out everything was. she now drives a q7 and now swears by Audi. she finally feels she got a car worthy of what she payed for. her husband bought a passat since they needed a cheaper more family oriented car since they have a baby on the way and he says he is enjoying it much more than his old lexus.


    hell, my 94 s4 never had a rattle or squeak. you just bought the wrong car. maybe if you test drove it before you signed away on it, yo wouldnt have the problems you have now

    My 2005 S4 was solid as a rock. Not one rattle or problem. I loved that car!

    x2, on the way to the track yesterday, my buddy told me he hated my car cuz it was so boring. not one rattle, no noise whatsoever. he is used to highly strung mk2 gti's so jumping into my car feels like a Bentley to him

    Re: More noise

    i gauge how hard i push the car by how much squeak i hear from around the hand brake area...

    i put felt on both sides of the seat belt buckles to get rid of the seat squeak, but not to confuse the seat squeak with the hand brake squeak.

    closing the sunshade also get rid of squeak type #8. of course, opening the sunroof get rid of all squeaks.
