My 2018 Kodiaq Edition has developed an annoying squeak which has gradually got worse , I have attached an audio file from my phone placed on the ground in the garage whilst I rocked from side to side by standing on the rear door entry and gripping the roof bars and bouncing up and down ( I know!!) this was the only way I could get enough movement of the suspension without driving the car continually over a speed bump at slow speed , which is when I first noticed the squeak. I have DCC on the vehicle and the squeak is less when you select sport mode , mainly I think due to the suspension movement being more restricted. The audio file is with the DCC on comfort mode. I have yet to take the car back to the dealer as I wanted to get some evidence ( audio file) and ensure the squeak was getting worse. Anyone else out there experienced this?

Suspension Squeak Kodiaq.m4a

Hi mine was doing it after owning the car 5 months (DCC)...and again, like dealer said, I'm the first one who has this kind of problem. 

Its from control arm bushings. Thera are front and rear bushings. Dealer changed the front ones and squeaking is gone.

Ofcourse I have several issues with front suspension...the squeaking was one of them. My front shock absorbers make noise on every little pump on the road...dealer said its ok but driving the other Kodiaq they gave me to try...was absolutely quiet.

 

 

Thanks for the answer , you say your front shocks make a noise whereas your loaner didn’t , what sort of noise ?

 

Its hard to describe but it's like I hear my front suspension all the time...its like goble goble goble goble  ...like I said its a bit hard to describe.

Most concerning thing is to driving  over bigger  road bump and front suspension is falling down to its normal working position..then there is so big BANG i thougjt I hit something ....and again dealer says its ok. They tested absorbers and showd the result and and test was ok. But still I'm not finish yet to fight with dealer. 

There is something wrong. They said they could change the front absorbers but if this BANG doesnt go away who's gonna pay the work and new absorbers...pretty ridicilous I think. Skoda dealer is my second home allready. Think I have to risk and get new absorbers and we'll see.

The BANG is louder when driving in comfort mode so the suspension is very soft and free to play.
