    The two "behind the dash" rattles that I've found so far are the airbag retainer clip in the steering wheel, and the plastic shroud between the hood and the windshield

    I know b9s and all audis typically have weird/loud idles but I really usually only hear it in comfort at idle and slowly accelerating like parking or moving out of a parking spot or something like that

    Interesting do you know how to fix this ? I know car is obviously louder in dynamic so this might be why but I usually only hear it in comfort

    You should probably post a sound clip before you get a load of people telling you your rocker arms have failed and you need to pay $50k for a new car, lol.

    I know there was a production date where they fixed the rocker arm issue I forgot exactly when but I ended up checking and my date was after the date where they stopped production and fixed that issue last time I checked my car was produced on 07/18

    Why even make a thread without a video? It sounds like "XXXX" isn't going to get you anywhere.

    I have had one fixed and it was really bad. The tech said he moved a fuel line or something. Not entirely sure cuz the service people told me they can’t fix it cuz the car was modified so I didn’t ask, but when I got home and looked he had documented he fixed something and the rattle went away.

    07/19 is the date I believe. 07/18 was the old presumed date.
    07/18 is when they revised the rocker arms, 07/19 is when they actually used the revised ones in the production line vehicles.

    Is it this sort of noise? Apologies if the sound quality isn’t great I think YouTube is compressing or something.
