Had a similar thing happen with my Civic—looked perfect after repairs, but every time I turned left, something rattled behind the dash. Drove me crazy trying to pinpoint it. Ever figure out exactly what's causing your squeak?
Had something similar happen with my Audi after repairs—turned out a clip behind the dash wasn't seated properly. Took forever to find...maybe check if anything's loose back there before you lose your sanity chasing ghosts?
Had a similar mystery noise in my Subaru after getting some work done. Drove me nuts for weeks—every bump or turn, there was this faint rattling sound coming from somewhere behind the dash. I swear I took half the interior apart trying to track it down. Turned out, one of the techs had accidentally left a tiny screwdriver wedged behind the glovebox...go figure. Felt pretty silly after all that detective work.
Anyway, your Audi issue sounds pretty familiar. Dash clips and trim pieces can be sneaky culprits, especially after repairs when things don't always snap back into place perfectly. Definitely worth checking before you dive deeper into wiring or mechanical stuff. Sometimes it's just the simplest thing causing all that frustration...
"Dash clips and trim pieces can be sneaky culprits, especially after repairs when things don't always snap back into place perfectly."
True, but honestly, I'd be cautious about assuming it's always something minor. Had a similar issue with my old Honda—thought it was just a loose clip or something trivial. Ignored it for weeks until I finally got fed up and took it in. Turned out to be a loose wiring harness rubbing against metal behind the dash. Mechanic said it could've eventually worn through and caused electrical shorts or worse.
Not saying every little rattle is a ticking time bomb, but sometimes those "simple" noises can hint at bigger issues. Better safe than sorry, especially if you've recently had work done. I'd recommend at least getting eyes on it if you're not 100% sure what's causing the noise. Peace of mind is worth the extra hassle...
Yeah, that's a good point—it's easy to brush off these little rattles as harmless. But now you've got me wondering... could something minor like that affect insurance claims down the line? Like, if you ignore a small issue and it leads to something bigger, would insurance companies try to wiggle out of coverage by saying you neglected maintenance or something? Ugh, just when I thought I had this insurance stuff figured out...
