stal -> Front end 'creaking', help a first time poster! (5/3/2008 6:48:24 PM)
|
Hello there, I'm a first time poster but have learned a few things off this forum before. I am not exactly a mechanic but can take a 2stroke engine apart with my eyes closed, and have pretty much every tool one can imagine. I have never worked on my 2001 A6 (2.8) before. I usually leave all car-work for the dealer, as I trust my life/family with the car everyday. This one has me pretty pissed though.
Problem: Extremely annoying creaking coming from front left suspension. Specifically, it's somewhere in the wheel-well (outside the engine bay) but can be heard easily while driving. Dealer says 'it's all fine' and won't figure it out for me unless I pay them hundreds of dollars to 'examine' it, and they won't guarantee any results.
Question: Do I need to know anything special before ripping the wheel off, and taking all the stuff in the apart and examining/greasing everything? Any Torque-specs or general suggestions that the creaking might be coming from? Any chance there's an A6 equivalent to a haynes manual?
Any and all help greatly appreciated. Thanks to all.
