    Read if you have a squeaky back end

    I have been getting some annoying squeaks from the back end of the vehicle. A couple of weeks ago I isolated it to the rear tail light. I could recreate the sound just by pushing on it.

    During today's service visit I pointed out the issue, and later found out that this is a known warranty issue. I now have some special little rubber bumpers coming that supposedly fix the problem.

    I guess others are having the same issue, given Audi now has a kit to fix it.

    Good to know. Both of my cars had/have the same issue.

    I have terrible squeaking. I'll check on the TSB, but also noticed that my CF engine bay bits squeak when I press on them. Using silicon spray stops the squeaking when I push them, but the squeaking while I drive is still there.

    Really, REALLY noticable at low speeds with the radio off.
