Could be a number of things, bushes, top mounts, dust boots on the struts, at worst its a shock.
It is lower control arm bushings. They are ****, same as it is on 1.2TSI... In SEAT, they told me that it is a known problem and put some grease on the bushings. It only helped temporarily, now the problem is coming back, getting used to it.Could be a number of things, bushes, top mounts, dust boots on the struts, at worst its a shock.
I can't hear it when I roll my windows down outside, or when I push down on car from outside. Car is booked in for a week today. Really doing in my head.
I actually hope this is what it is. I need to get it up on ramps, I have silicone spray I could spray on them. Could you hear yours when you pushed down on the front of your car from the outside?sounds like lower control arm bushes, they dryout and crack and then squeak. spraying with silicon spray will stop the noise for a while. i changed mine at 30k
I have it on my 2.0 TDI FR too, I was hoping when I fit my coilovers it would stop. Mine sounds like it comes from the rear and can only hear it when I'm slowly going over speed bumps. It's more of a metal on metal creek than a squeek though[/QUOT
So that's a picture of the lower control arm bush? Is this facing you when you go underneath the car? On the bottom side of the wishbone?https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q3q8K1VxYh5MI4a-XX9k_-QfVccYEISP/view?usp=drivesdk

I couldn't replicate the noise by pushing down on the front end, i had the creaky squeaks over sharp bumps, speed humps and changes in road surface. also poor tyre wear and a wayward steering feel.
Ok thanks for reply mate. I'm hoping this is what it is and it's not a squeeky creak coming from inside the dashboard. Definitely sounds like it's coming from suspension though.
What I find is if you drive over the sleeping policeman that go completely across the road I can get it to do it pretty much every time.Mines is going in on Wednesday to test drive it with me in it. It better creak like hell when they are in it I want to get it fixed.
