Squeaky Comfort Seat

**TD_05** · 10-12-2016 11:38 AM

I know, I'm splitting hairs. And I doubt I'd take this to dealer but thought I'd throw this question out to you guys. 2016 S6 with comfort seats, 5000 miles. Right bolster on drivers seat squeaks in an otherwise silent interior. Not the end of the world but kind of annoying. Worse when seat is cold, and when the bolster is "tighter". Better / less frequent but still present with opposite situations.

Anyone else with or without comfort seats experiencing this? Have you had it addressed with dealer or alternative?

16 S6 with about 3k miles here, also have slight squeak in my comfort seats. Seems to be more in the middle of the seat back for me though.

Planning to mention to dealer at 5k service. Like you said, subtle but annoying...

Finally! Someone with the same issue. I have the same problem and it drives my crazy. I took it to the dealer and the managed to break the back panel of the seat while trying to fix. They replaced the part, never fixed the problem.

I notice it off and on for my driver's seat as well. A little annoying but I thought I'd live with it. Just yesterday I noticed the triangular trim around the Audi side assist button coming off the corner of my drivers door. Will have the dealership look at it when I go in for my 5k service. They previously fixed the Bose trim on the passenger door, the carbon fiber trim of the middle console that had some rough spots, and a sagging rear view mirror. I still hear a creaking sound from the steering column (or that general direction) that they claim they lubricated. I suspect my car may have been assembled on a Monday when all the Audi workers were still hung over from the weekend.

Ok so it squeaks or kinda clunks mainly when you sit the first time and then when making turns where your butt kinda moves on the seat? I had that issue

I had a squeak too with my comfort seats. It turned out to be the seat belt buckle rubbing against the seat where Audi placed a piece of felt right where it contacted. Oddly though I didn't do anything about it and eventually it stopped on its own.

Double check this often, don't think this is the source. Its the lower right bolster...

Same here, it is obviously the springs / bracket in the back of the seat.

I took my MY16 to a new dealer this week. They actually fixed it! They said the lumbar support needed to be tightened at the bolts and the greased specific areas. Thought it never was going to get fixed and it drove me crazy. Only wish it was fixed 15,000 miles ago.
