Does anyone know what causes this rattle, 35,000 miles on clock. One dealer says it is in the shock absorbers and they have to be re-greased, doesn't sound right to me. I have heard same noise in a superb taxi I used when I was on holiday, must be a problem in superb mk3 model.

Grease fixes squeaks not rattles.

 

Rattles are likely to be cause by ...

 

1. Worn, cracked or missing bushings 

 

2. Loose or missing nuts/bolts/fasteners/brackets (say for a brake line) 

 

3. Bent or broken suspension components

You will have to search but have a look at my thread. I did a video showing the sound if you’re is the same also info on fix.
