Good day all,
so my 2016 S3 has developed an unusual sound from the front left side when I go over speed bumps, if i go very slow then no sound can be heard. So far i have changed the ARB, engine mount and transmission mount, this has made no difference. Audi claim there was no noise when they looked at it, maybe thats because its under a 5 year extended warranty. Another mechanic said its probably the front left shock absorber. The price of OEM shocks are outrageous so I was looking at aftermarket, this has caused a lot of confusion as the ones I found state for 2016 S3 without electronic suspension, I thought all 2016 S3 have electronic suspension. Also if it is the shocks would this be covered under the extended warranty. Any ideas what alternative shocks can be fitted please, apart from the noise the car shows no other symptoms of bad shock absorbers.
appreciate any advice on this.
