Default Audi TT 225hp - Car Squicks

My Audi is driving me crazy with these squicking noises. Bought the car in Arizona and drove it to Texas no problems. Now it is squicking, anyone know what may be the cause and what parts may be needed to fix?

Default Very likely it squeaks because of dried out suspension bushings, esp....

those on the sway bars. Get some spray in grease (white lithium) and get the car up in the air. Spray the FSB/RSB bushings. If that stops the squeaks for awhile, you may need to pull them down and get grease in there more deeply.

Welcome to the TT: I suspect AZ cars will dry out and make noise more so than some other regions.

SQUEAK, btw.

Default Squeaks, squicks, rattles, rattels, I've got them all. It's a TT.

If you can be more specific about where you think the noise might be coming from and in what situations, we can better help you. This car has countless sources of unwanted noise.
