Hi together! Have had my R8 now 1.5 years and already some repairs (just exceeded the 100tkm). After I had all the necessary repairs done in the summer it runs very well and is according to Audi in top condition. Recently I started to hear a new noise. Horts on like two filled PET bottles rubbing together in a 6-pack – would describe it as squeaking. First, of course, I looked under my seats. And in the inside It actually seems to come from the engine room or the partition to the engine room. What I could find out so far – you can only hear it in connection with shock – e.g. drive over threshold etc – the noise seems to appear only when the engine is running – however I could only try to shake the car in the stand not the man power to roll it off with the engine – I thought it had something to do with the engine compartment flap (e.g. the rubber between The noise is not related to the motor load -magnetic ride and sport mode on/off makes no difference – the noise does not come from the stereo system So someone has had a similar problem before or a clue what it might be. I believe the noise to have noticed all the first times after the car cleaning. I was washing the engine at the same time. me and the cover is always closed. Thanks for your help LG Steven
