Hi everybody.

Sorry for a newbe question. I have had my A4 for 3 months and I have developed a squeak in the driver seat. There is some rocking of the backrest when you take off and some squeaking...
These are manual letherette seats.


Any ideas ?
Thanks.

 

I'd take the seat out, tighten any bolts that appear loose, and spray down the joints with WD-40 or White lithium. Should get rid of any squeaks you've got.

 

Don't use WD-40 for lubrication.

 

Why not?

 

pb blaster ftw! i heard in the long run that wd does more damage than good

 

WD-40 is a penetrating oil, not a lubricating oil. It's good for cleaning grease. I use it to clean out headlight sockets and such when required. You can use it on rusted surfaces, though PB Blaster and Kroil (especially Kroil) are better for that.

 

my drivers seat squeaks too, I lubed it up and tighten it all down, still squeaks....but i am also fat. so that might add to it. haha

 

I wouldn't use it to lube ball joints or somethin but seems to me it would work fine for a squeaky seat.

 

^^ +1.... It helped fix my squeaky driver side door

 

It won't last.
