Symptom: Sounds like loose change when going over bumps...
When going over bumps, with the top down, I can almost always hear what sounds like loose change clinking about from the suspension. Of course the dealer never hears it.
What could it be?

Yea, I had that (or similar)...
Went to the dealer 4 times for the same sound. Went around the dealers neighborhood looking for potholes or bumps that would cause the car make that sound because they could never hear it when I left the car with them. Finally found a school's driveway that I could reproduce the sound consistently so I took the tech for a ride and he stood in the rain as I went up and down the driveway. I was told it had something to do with the brakes and the only notation on the service record was "brake modification - N/C". Now I'm getting the same sound on the passenger's side, not happy. Did a few searches for "jingling" and saw that it happens mostly on A4's and one post said there was a TSB for the A4's on it but I could not find it. Something having to do with a retainer clip and the caliper.

Had the same problem with my 2003 roadster. Finally found a road where I could reproduce it and took the tech for a ride. He concluded it was control arm bushings. Hasn't recurred since.
