THE INSIDE OF MY CAR IS SQUEAKING AND RATTLING CONSTANTLY WHEN DRIVING EVERY LITTLE BUMP AND CREVICE IN THE ROAD MAKE RIDE IN THIS AUDI QUITE ENJOYABLE (SARCASM).

The first step would be to find where the rattles are coming from. The dashboard, the glove box, the doors, the sunroof...? Have any of these areas been worked on recently? Maybe things were not put back as they should.

Thanks for the reply. No none of these areas are locations of concern. So I thought to myself where is the noise coming from? I believe it is the back hatch maybe some seat hinges plastic molding pieces in the vehicle. Other than that I am not sure. Side question This is the C6 forum

DB, you had initially posted in the wrong forum. Your post was moved to the correct forum.


We've got a 2006 wagon with 130k miles. In general, it's VERY good in terms of rattles.


I would start by inspecting things inside of the spare tire well and ensure items are tight/locked down. I'd also check the left and right panels back there to verify nothing is moving around. The electronic components are on the left side. I would fold down the rear seats and look for anything loose in that region. Give those seat backs a good, solid slam when you close them. What kind of shape are the two hatch struts in? Rusty?


Could it be the hatch latch is out of adjustment and rattling? License plate frame rattling/resonating? Is the battery fully bolted down and tight?

Right. Because as Uberwgn wrote, he moved your post to this forum.

+1 for the suggestions.

After moving the thread to the correct forum, it is not a bad idea to delete previous comments that could be confusing. I almost replied saying this is the correct forum then thought that maybe the thread was moved. That first comment from NOLAessate is still confusing.
