bassmekanik Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Handy thread this one. Been hearing pretty much the same thing (small squeak/creak when going over speed bumps) since i bought mine a few months back. Doesnt happen often enough for me to remember to do something about it but often enough to annoy me. Car due to go in for a service soon so hopefully i'll remember to get this checked out too.

rbel5553 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I’ve tried to find if this has been answered before, basically when in drive along my cul-da-sac over the speed bumps a lot low speed, when my front wheels hit and the suspension compressors it sounds a bit squeaky, it seems to happen more when cold, I have DCC, is this normal? It’s been like that since I picked it up in March (new). Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkJack it right up and spray WD40 up onto the shocks and springs on each corner. Cheap and cheerful first. Then review. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw the rest of this lengthy thread. Learned a bit from it too! I’m just waiting for the squeak to reveal itself- I may have heard it a very low speed trundling down our lane at low speed in the morning. Now I know that it’s the lower bushes...... Thank you.

trancem Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Sorry for major thread revival. I am suffering from the same creaky suspension. What are the chances VW will fix this out of warranty? I have just bought mine from an independent specialist, but the 3 year warranty expired at the end of May ☹ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Depends very much on the dealer in my experience. If you mention the technical bulletin it might help your cause, plus maybe it would have happened earlier had we not been in lockdown and you'd done more miles, all worth a try Plus you dont get if you dont ask... good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just bought mine from an independent specialist, but the 3 year warranty expired at the end of May I think most warranties were extended by maybe 3 months?

trancem Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Thanks mate. Booked in to VW for Wednesday for the creaky suspension. £60 diagnostic charge but will be refunded if covered under warranty. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NL316 Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I have been trying to get this sorted for ages now. Sounds dreadful and much worse in comfort mode.Exactly the same thing I'm having now! Hate that noise so bad! They took mine in 2 days ago and greased it up but a day later and it is still doing the same dam thing. Will be on the phone to VW again tomorrow.

TechieAli Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 I never got it sorted. My new R doesn’t have DCC and it’s no where near as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read in various location where owners had the greasing done and all was well after and in some cases it doesn't. But after VW change the bushes, problem solved. I'm hopefulSent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk TechieAli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 To add to this thread. My car was suffering from the front end creaking when going slowly over bumps and rough surfaces. Issue was noticeably worse in dry conditions indicating issue likely to do with something requiring greasing. Anyways, this morning i gave the front wishbone bushes and front arb bushes a spray with silicone grease and the car is now silent. I could have taken it to VW as the car is only 18 months old, but for the sake of a fiver and 5mins of my time I decided to try this first. Also I now know in future if the creaking comes back to just get the grease out and get spraying. If anyone is suffering the same issues give this a try, I didn’t even need to take the wheels off, just turned them full lock one way and then the other.

I don't suppose you could show on a plan / photo where you sprayed can you?!? 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
