:(Hi, I've got an A4 B7 Saloon, and i've noticed, when accelerating or braking hard, I can hear a rattle that sounds like its coming from the passenger side air vent. It's definately not something inside the glove box as it empty (although the glove box has been out a few times). It never used to make the noise when I got it, and i'm pretty sure I've not dropped anything into the small vent on top of the dashboard. My dad has a similar noise in his B6 A4 (the noise is in the same location) but his rattles when turning a sharp left or right. Both the sounds sound like a screw or plastic cap have been dropped into the vent. Has anybody else had these noises? Or does anyone know how to fix them? Cheers

I wonder if anybody can help me.. I bought a 2006 BMW 320D back in April and took it to our old family garage (not BMW dealer) for a service. They replaced the pollen filter as part of the service and ever since, there has been a rattle coming from behind the dashboard. The rattle starts at about 10Mph and lasts up until about 40Mph. I have taken it back but they cannot work out what the rattle is. Does anybody have any ideas as to what it may be? Forgive me for being totally non mechanical!

Hi there, I was told in my last service with Dean Hill (a known mechanic on the forum who's serviced a number of our forum's 8s based around the London area) that my drop links were due for renewal. I believe they are the 'C-shape' parts of the suspension as pictured in Paul Waterloo's picture below (but not sure:confused:). He did one already (he was going to do 2 but audi hadn't given him the right part) on the front right and he mentioned the other 3 pretty much needed doing also. This was back in January so it's been a while since this was recommended... So i have 2 questions: a. what do they do exactly? b. Could this be a likely cause of a rattle that has started in the last week from the rear driver's side wheel? Symptoms: A kind of irritating rattle over rough surfaces but no noise at all on smooth surfaces. Doesn’t seem to get worse. Thanks, Oli
