Touareg :: Squeak In Center Console And Lid Flexes
Cool weather has finally arrived in Michigan and brought with it the first interior squeak for my Touareg. I have isolated the squeak to the center console. It happens on rough roads (plenty of those in MI) or when I rest my right arm on the console.
It appears that the console lid flexes a bit even when latched. I'm thinking about adding a couple of the clear, flexible pads to the bottom, front corners of the console lid to see if that will eliminate the problem.
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2003 - Squeak Coming From Front Axle Seals
I have a 03 super duty 3/4 with 45000 miles. I have squeaking sound coming from the front end. My local ford dealer says ford has been replacing those front axle seals but the noise comes back.They said the fix is to keep a dab of grease on them of which I.m doing.That does take care of it for awhile but the squeaking does come back until I put a dab of grease back on them.

So I've always had a clunk coming from the front end of my car since I bought it last year. It happens almost every time the suspension flexes. I'm pretty sure my steering is okay as I can turn the wheel quickly and/or forcefully back and forth with the car either on or off and there is no noise; the steering feels solid.
Here is the list of things I have done so far:
-Poly sway bar bushings
-Poly end link bushings
-Poly dog bone bushings
-Cup kit (Springs and shocks)Upper strut mounts & bearings
-Ball joints
-Raxles
After a quick look at my Bentley manual, it seems the only things left to do are control arm bushings (most likely in my mind) and sub frame bushings (less likely). Is there anything else I should check for possible causes that I'm missing?

I just bought a 2004.5 GLI and I quickly found out that some of the seals aren't tight. We had a pretty bad rainstorm a couple weeks after I bought it, and it left my trunk and my drivers side floor mat soaked. Not good, considering I have a subwoofer sitting there, just waiting to be destroyed.
View 1 RepliesFord Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Frozen Door Seals Constantly?
Any good remedy for constantly freezing door seals? I have a 06 extended cab and the rubber seal between the 2 doors makes an excellent "lock" when water freezes and all but welds the doors together. I damn near broke the paddle handle trying to pull on it. I wasn't keen on dumping water on the top of the seal since the glass is so cold and the water doesn't seem to penetrate anyway. I was thinking of wiping the seals heavily with anti-freeze? or motor oil? No, a garage is not an option.

So I bought my 03 golf 2.slow about 10 years ago used and it came with a moonroof... not a sunroof. I never really thought about it and just assumed it was a option from the factory but the seals have been leaking lately and I was looking for a replacement seal and could not find anything only sunroof parts. Is this an aftermarket moonroof where they cut a hole in the roof and added this?..I really hope not. Or did someone take the sunroof assembly out and put this in its place.
View 3 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Window Seals Becoming Tough With Passage Of Time?
So, now that it's cooler out sometimes, a quirk has resurfaced, one that bugged me semi-consistently last winter.
Seems that when the mercury drops, both windows in my R start making creaky, squooshy, rattly noises... but only when they're closed all the way. Forgot about this over spring/summer. If I open them a tiny bit, they're quiet. My guess/assumption/theory is that the rubbery stuff against which the top of the glass seals (when the windows are all the way closed) has lost its flexibility over the years and sorta holds the edge of the glass in place less firmly than it's supposed to. OR it's just brittle or something and that noise is the edge of the glass rubbing on it instead of sinking into it a little. And then I get that creaky/squooshy/rattly sound. It's not all that loud, but hey on one side it's right next to my ear after all.
Wondering if:
-- this theory of mine makes sense
-- replace those pieces in the door there, for whatever reason, how hard it is to do that, and where they got replacement pieces to begin with
Searching on a few things netted me nothing on this subject.

I am getting a groaning noise in the back storage area as the body flexes when starting to move. At first I thought it might be the spare tire mounting or the third seat but I still get the noise with the tire out and the seat out.
Does this sound like a body mount issue? Have not had any body mount noises in the front. Can I access the rear body mount without dropping the gas tank?

View 4 RepliesElantra MD (2010-15) :: 2016 - Driver And Passenger Side Door Handles Squeak
My driver's side and passenger side door handles squeak when using them to close or open the door. Its kind of an annoying issue which surprised me due to the quality and fit and finish on the rest of the car. The door handles do NOT make noise when driving the car, only when I grab and squeeze and close or open the door. I will be taking it to my dealer's service centre at my earliest convenience to see if they can remedy the issue.
Here's a short video to show you what I'm experiencing. I am squeezing the door handle a little more aggressively for the purpose of the video but I'm not being rough. [URL]....
