Creaking Fabia suspension: A solution?

Featured Replies

I copied this from UK-polos.net and a big thank you to Nelson Wilbury who collated the infomation as it stands:

On the 15/12/03 VW issued a memo to all VW dealers stating that they are currently 'aware' of the complaints of suspension creaks from new Polo owners and that VAG Germany are working on a replacement kit as we speak. These 'kits' are expected to be ready for late January/early Febuary 2004 and are of course covered under VW warranty.

It is not yet known if these bushes are going to be issued as a recall, workshop campaign (fitted as cars come in for service/repair etc) or replaced when the noise is noted by owners.

Dealers have been instructed NOT to carry out any warranty work on suspension if the complaint is either creaking or knocking noises. Therefore if you book your car in for the creaks don't expect anything to be done about it until the kits are availiable.

More updates to come as we get them.

Many thanks,

The UK-POLOS.NET forum.

If VW can do it, surely it will also apply to the Fabia/Ibiza which shares the problem.

Indeed, worth mentioning to your dealer.
