2018 Q5 Front Suspension Clunk
Hi
New to this forum..
I have a 2 month old 2.0 TFSI Q5, 2018 assembly. (Singapore)
Ive noticed that on some sharp speed humps or road bumps, I randomly get a clunk or a knock from the FRONT suspension , also a rubber sounding Squeak occasionally (probably a rubber sleeve ?) . Not exactly what I expect from a brand new European car.
Its not every time.. but its bugging me.
On the same speed hump, the rear suspension is totally fine.. just random clunks and knocks from the front.
any thoughts? is it like the famous DSG low speed clunk between gears,? ie just an Audi anomaly ? (this is my First Audi, my previous Volvo XC60 was totally fine on the same speed humps)

Chasing the same thing... left side front. Not present consistently and only small bumps, or uneven surface.
Seems more pronounced at cold ambient temps and at beginning of drive vs. end.
Another thread mentions an upcoming TSB so I'm sort of waiting for that and/or the problem to become easier to replicate.
Diag tech at dealer drove with me and we couldn't get it to re-produce.

have confirmed with technicians they have had "several" Q5's with very low KM's back with same issue... no fix or TSB, but they took me for drive in demo unit to Prove its there for all .. so for now it seems a "feature" vs "bug" .. made it clear I was unamused. The guy empathised but said nothing from Audi has come out.

Not sure if we're talking about the same thing, but I would get an occasional "pop" from the front-driver-side wheel when turning into my driveway, or when the car flexed at low speeds. I took the car to the dealer, and they tightened the chassis bolts. I haven't heard the noise since.
