From what I understand , the whole roof lining must be removed and then add some insulation betwwen the lining and the rails themselves , correct ? I think that is what my dealer did last time , but not removing the whole lining , more like unclipping it and adding squeak tape . Kamal , If this expert can tell what exactly must be done , I`ll tell my dealer , so they can take some action . After all , the car is still under warranty .

I know , I went to the dealer 3 times in order to get some improvement . So I know what you mean . Please keep me posted if your dealer finds a permanent solution . Thanks in advance .

Well you have tried the most drastic solution ( to disconnect all clips ) , so other than that , i dont know what else to advise you . I was going to do the same , but im afraid i might damage the roof lining in the long term if its not connected to the roof rail . Where do you here these noises specifically , try to localize them and put pressure with your hand to see if will stop them .

My dealer ( in Sofia , Bulgaria ) , fixed it almost . The noises decreased by ~70% . It happens now occasionally . As far as i know they put some additional sealing between the panoramic roof rail work and the roof lining . I`ve tried the fix described above ( before i went to the dealer ) , and it worked like a charm . So definitely the problem is there ,in that area of the roof lining .

So , theyve replied to you that this is normal for superb as well . And also there is no official recall about this issue , is that what youre saying ? So how did you convince them to swap both shocks and rack then ? Cause i need to convince them as well .

Martin , do you know if any recalls are made for this problem with the faulty shock absorbers ( most probably they are to blame for this ) . ? What should I tell my dealer , cause last time they told me - these are normal noises from the suspension . I really don`t think that they are .

Are there any recalls about the front shocks or anything at the front ? So I can show them when I go at the end of the month .

Just to make it clear - the rattling noises from the front are not cured even with shock absorbers and rack replacement ? Putting this part from S3 : 5Q0407183F , solved what exactly ? Sorry for the stupid questions . And if nothing cures the noises from the front , what else can we do ? Besides selling the car . 😞 What should I tell my dealer to focus on ? Im almost certain that my noise comes from the front left wheel .

Hello guys , Did you found a permanent solution for the noisy front suspension ? Thanks in advance . Alex
