Dashboard creaking when going over slight bumps

[rf860]

Hi guys, recently i have noticed that my car's dashboard creaks when going over small bumps for example when there is a change in road surface and the is a slight difference in height of the tarmac. It seems that the front end of the car absorbs the bump no problem but the back thumps and causes the dash to creak. Thought it maybe had something to do with the shocks??

Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to MK4 Ibiza ownership. Its a factory option of creaky interior that all the cars came with.

I'd extend that to "welcome to this generic platform" - all the Fabias + Polos will also do this - well my wife's Polo certainly does it and has done for most of its life!

Thanks for the responses, i guess ill have to put up with it. I was thinking of sound proofing the cabin for example behind the quarter panels etc cos there is like no sound proofing whatsoever! whats the best way of going about this?

That's before you get to the other rattles that appear after 4 years

Hopefully, i will not be on s**t wages by the time the car gets to that age and can afford something with a bit more oomph!

Creaks? Are you sure you don't have the old suspension bush issue?

Mines never creaked, just sounds like a Spanish drum festival with all the plasticky s**t rattling around in there, it's awful, anyone done anything? Foam etc..

Just had bushes replaced under warranty on friday, it has stopped the popping and clunking noises that i was getting but not creaks. i think i just have to accept that ths car is not as well put together as my last car!
