Gota few problems.
So first off. I just pulled out a few spark plugs to see what condition they were in. And I noticed they aren't really bad, But I did notice a little bit of oil on the plugs??? What's that mean? I'm going to go out and get new ones here today, and see what happens. Also I posted earlier about my car making funny squeeky noises. What do you think the odds are that the bushings are actually bad. Or would they just need greasing? Every time I turn the wheel or move the car it makes Some loud creeking noises.... I guess those are the only real problems I've had with this car. Nothing major just want it As close to perfect as I can get, haha. Lemme know what you think....
For the oil in the plugs, it means you have a leaking valve cover gasket. (easy fix)
The squeaking noise is probably from the upper control arms, push down on your fenders and bounce the suspension, if you can hear the squeak you need to replace the upper control arms.

www.ecstuning.com has two different manufactures (Febi & Meyle) The Febi brand is usually a little cheaper, but meyle has an upper control arm kit that sells all four for like $380, or you can get a complete kit from either manufacture for $520 which replaces ALL the links. The upper control arms are the ones that usually wear out though.
Labor if done by a shop is usually 4.5 to 5 hours.

ok........... And i'm not doubting the fact that it's prolly the Control arms. But I called my mechanic to find out how much it would run me. And he told me to just bring it in. But i'll have to wait for that. So I just asked him what he thought it was. And he said by the way I describing itt, it sounds like ball joints..... Which sounds possible. Cause It makes the sound when I turn left to right when i'm parked, Which really shouldnt' move the Control arms...
Does the noise sound like the one in this video??
This noise was coming from my 05 Pilot. It would sound like this when i turned my wheel going slow and while parked. It needed some grease in my CV Joint.

No its not the ball joint, that would make a clunk, and almost never happens on audi's.
The cv joint can ONLY make noise when the car is moving, so if bouncing the suspension makes the noise it sure as hell isn't the CV joint. Un-less you have a blown cv boot as well.........
Im guessing your mechanic isn't an audi certified technician, if it were a chevy i would replace the ball joints too.
