Squeaky Rattling noise

[Mikester]

Agree. lol

I think its certainly coming from that area...and yes i do have them!

It sounds to me though like its an interior noise coming from that area?

if you push down on the back of the car i carnt replicate the noise. maybe that is not a true indication of the sh!t roads we have though.

anyway i can test to either rule it out or pinpoint the problem?

(its definatly not the seats, first thing i checked)


Also... it doesnt seem to be as bad if at all if theres more weight in the car, ie i have passengers in the back.

And...pretty sure the same noise was on my 1.4 when i had the same set up on that, although not as bad!

Drive along and keep lurking the car with the gad in a low gear. Mine sqweaks like hell then. Or jump up and down on the boot. It's hard to tell where it's coming from.

What you could try and it helped a little with mine is to try spray on grease on the springs.

I think I've got the same noise! And yes, I'm also using sh*ttuning coilovers! Passenger side, sounds like it's somewhere around the rear strut. Hard to describe but its a sort of 'creaking rattle' type noise. In my mind it sounds like a rusty bit of metal flexing. Hmmmm... As its a lowered mk3 I suppose that probably is what it actually is!

+1 ob maybe being the rear axle bushes.

I thought I had a small mouse in my car when I had an '89 205 GTi 

The dam think squeaked when I ran over a juice carton.... lol

As Ive said in previous posts got the hottuning coilovers on the group buy around december time. Had them in for a few months and had to take them out. Car looked brill lowered but squeaking and rattling and harsh ride got too much. The coilovers are out about 4 months and still havent fixed all the creaks and rattles since putting back in the original suspension. Numerous bushings, mounts, wishbones, tie rods etc have been replaced. Driving my mechanics mk4 tdi for the last week as its still knocking now and again and cant seem to get to the bottom of it. Costing a alot as tracking has been done loads of times and will have to be done due again once the issue is finally solved

Check your seats and door cards are tight

Lads I have EXACTLY the same noise in my car, its like a squeek, but its a rattly squeek, It was there on my standard suspension and its been there on a H+R cup kit with new top mounts, its not the seat belt or hinges and its not the speaker cables .

its been driving e mad for a year, its like a flippin gerbil in the rear qrtr panel

If its the rear 1/4 card then take it off and put it back on making sure you do everything up.
