Hi. I have a 2008 model year vehicle, a great car.......but, the suspension knocks at the front. The car is at the dealers who have told me that the parts they need (not specified) are on back order which suggests to me that the part manufacturer is re-designing the parts to stop them knocking. I have been told that the vehicle is safe even though it is "track rod end" related. Looks like I am part of an elite club of owners with a similar problem and the club is growing.

I use Guy Salmon at Coventry - well worth the extra drive and on most occasions they will "collect and deliver" so no hassle. They have told me today that parts will be in next week - sounds promising so far.............. |

Hi all - 2007 spec 2.7TDV6 HSE with Dynamic Response. Knocking started around 4000 miles, and got progressively worse until I could feel it banging through the floor under my feet at around 4300 miles! Dealer gave me the "charactaristic of the vehicle" guff (or TADTS if anyone from SELOC is here!) to start with, but armed with editied highlights of this set of posts I convinced them, politely but firmly, to undertake the software update and D bush replacements suggested by "The Voice Of Reason".

Chris, Insist your Dealer replaces the Anti Roll bar bushes and don't allow them to fob you off ![]() This is very unlikely to be anything to do with the DR ![]() TDV8 - gone Audi Q5 3.0 Tdi Sline wef 6/11/10 |

Gents - the symptoms are similar/identical - apologies for getting my terminology confused between my cars, but my car DOES have DR and IS now silent following the DR software update and the anti-roll bar bush replacement (after all, the DR system does alter the anti-roll bar torsion!) - my post above is now corrected. http://www.black-code.co.uk |
