After a test-drive of a manual shifted car (before my purchase) i noticed a creaking sound from the clutch pedal on the test model, se more information in this thread, more with this issue.http://www.q3ownersclub.co.uk/forum/clutch-pedal-creak_topic283.html?KW=clutch
But my car has the s-tronic so i have been spared from any clutch pedal noises.However after maybe 30 miles i noticed a creaking/cracking subtile sound coming from my gas pedal.Since it's automatic you most of the time rest your foot on the gas pedal or give very little gas to maintain current speed and this is where the creaking comes out. It's like a gap between the gas pedal cover and the lover part of the gas pedal construction making it "click" even when i rest my foot and drive in rough asphalt.
Last week i went in to the dealer to have them check it out and the service mechanic noticed the same thing (i looked at the sky thanking for not being insane). In the past i had so much troubles with mis sounds from cars (mazda, saab, peugeot etc)
Today i had my appointment at the dealer and i just got a call from the service personnel that they had to order a new gas pedal.
Hopefully picking my baby up tomorrow and i'll keep you posted in case you're interested. Got a courtesy car so i'm alright. But heads up for pedal creaking
