Creak from the rear, sorted.

[bignorm]

Just posting this incase anyone has the same creaking noise and can't figure out where it's from.

Had the noise for a few months and always thought it was coming from the passenger rear door.

Finally tracked it to the fitting where the drop down rear seat locks into place, not the button you press but the fitting that locks it into place.

You're a life saver mate!

 

The creaking was driving me insane for just over 2months to the point I was considering selling my car!

 

I originally thought it was the rear passengers door too, took off the door card, padded it all and still creaked! 

 

I then fitted coilovers all around, new top mounts and link bars, still creaking! (I wanted to lower it anyway lol ha!)

 

Tried bouncing the car when stationary but wouldn't make any noise at all, only when coming on/off my drive, over speed bumps and uneven bit of road.

 

Then came across your post, so this afternoon got out some copper grease and greased up all the hinges, mechanisms ect at the rear (seats, doors, tailgate) and voila, creaking gone! 

 

Happy days

I too have the creak....

 

Lubing up time this aft!

I had convinced myself it was the RARB mounts so will be trying this one out very soon. Thanks.

Skoda have had mine for over 5 weeks trying to find this creaking/clunking noise.  I wonder if I should let them know what I found on here...

5 weeks!  

what were they checking, when Derren Brown would be able to come in to diagnose what was wrong?

God knows, but I've put 1500 miles on the brand new Fabia wagon they loaned me, it's a lovely car and I'm getting 56mpg out of the pokey Tsi engine, very impressed.

Mine has been sorted too from lubing up the seat mechanism, it was doing my head in!

Is this the sound you guys had? I've sprayed the door hinges and seat locks with silicon spray, and sprayd the bushes in the rear and still have the creak, happens going over curbs on uneven ground like most say.
