Squeaking Sound - Center Dash

Actually this is my first post on here. But Ive been on the
forum for quite a while and I found it the most helpful place to find out our questions and concerns about our magnificent P cars.
I've purchased a 2003 Turbo ( X50 Pckg) about 3 months ago. I noticed cracking noise/squeaking sound from the centre dash when the car is cold, specailly in the mornings and it goes away after the car gets warm ( 20 mins). Took it to dealership, they told me they got it fixed and two bolts were missing in the center dash. Yesterday, I parked the car outside overnight( it was -1). When I started driving it the annoyoing noise was back again. I was wondering have any of you guys dealt with this problem before? Any help is greatly apprecaited

Re: Squeaking Sound - Center Dash

I had that on my 02TT and it turned out to be that little sensor that sits in the middle of the dash next to the windshield....push it down hard...it seems to flex and creates a popping sound. When it's cold, the plastic is stiff...but when you run your heater, it softens the plastic and it doesn't squeak anymore. At least that's what my problem was.

Thanks Chuck
Did you get it fixed... or should I just live with it?

Re: Squeaking Sound - Center Dash

I can tell you that almost every car squeaks somewhere in cold weather. After all there is so much plastic in cars.

Leave it alone and it might just wear out. You can also try spraying a bit of silicone where you think the problem is.

I am like you the more I listen the crazier I get so I just crank up the music

Re: Squeaking Sound - Center Dash

I'd just live with it...try pressing the side columns on the windshield and that center sensor...when I back out of the driveway, I have to go out at an angle to keep the front air dam from scraping...that angle causes the body to flex and when the car is cold, it creaks sometimes. After I pressed donw hard on the center sensor on the dash, the creaking stopped.

Re: Squeaking Sound - Center Dash

Chuck, I have the same thing in my 01 TT, I'll see if pressing on it makes it go away

Re: Squeaking Sound - Center Dash

EZ: did it go away>? Mine did....and hasn't come back so far. It's those caps that are pressure fit to cover up the sensor...it wasn't all the way down and creaked when the body flexed.
