Creaking noise in parking speed

[facasi]

Today I noticed a creaking sound that looks is coming from the front in my 2016 S3 (13,800 miles).Looks like is from the suspension parts since the sound is when passing trough irregular surface or speed bumps.

Does anyone knows if this is a common issue and possible solution?

Highly appreciated

Is it a clicking or creaking sound when turning the steering wheel from lock to lock? Our 2016 A3 has the clicking sound but always had the creaking sound which has never been addressed by the dealer.
For the clicking sound, the drivers side strut bearing was replaced. For some reason the strut bearings in these cars is a two piece solution whereas the other models is a one piece - as told by the Audi mechanic.

Is a creaking sound but no necessary when turning. It sound when driving at low speed l, “ parking speed” above uneven ground.

Our A3 also has a clunking sound over uneven roads as well which sounds like a broken or worn out end link. I had it checked with the control arm busing replaced and still clunks, sorry as this doesn’t help you much.

13,800 or 138,000? Mine's got 81 k and is creaky too. Just bushings, but annoying anyway. hard to track down the individual ones. Probably the front strut mounts. Expensive to have the dealer chase this stuff.

Mine is 13,800 miles

Wow. that's like brand new. Surely still under warranty?

Same issue, 2016 A3 S-Line with Sport Suspension 29,xxx miles

There is a TSB for this issue. I just had the following parts replaced yesterday under warranty per the TSB.

TSB: 204342419
Installed G 000405A2 Grease Qty:1
Installed N 10695901 Bolt Qty:4
Installed WHT000785 Nut Qty:2

They removed the lower control arm to lubricate bushings. Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue and they ordered a spring and shock absorber.

Edit: Google search TSB 2043424. For some reason the last two digits change.

I have the exact same issue. Creaking at low speeds over speed bumps or uneven surfaces. It seems to go away after the car is warmed up.

Interesting, I too have the same issue. I thought it was more to do with the sunroof but never really looked any further into it. I will bring this up with my dealership the next time im in, thanks.

Search 2043424.

Google search TSB 2043424, there are plenty of results. I will take a picture of my invoice from the dealer and upload it when I get home.

I removed all personal information from the invoice except for the SA just in case the SA at your dealer wants/needs to contact him.

Didn’t see that one coming lol. So it wasn’t any of the issues mentioned above?

I noticed this yesterday night inspecting the car from the outside. I don’t know if the issues are related.

Update: Audi was able to correct this under warranty. They removed two front bushings, greased, and reinstalled.
