Had the car for a for a year and a half now and problems are starting to show.
biggest annoyance is probably the rattles and brake dusts.

I bet the rattles I could get dealerships to fix or at least look at at no charge, but if i ask them to change my brake pads to the 06-08 TSIB for lower brake dust pads do you think they will change for me free of charge?

the rattles i am getting is from the the glove compartment, sunroof (sometimes I get a loud metal hitting metal clunk sound) and driver side left vent rattles. + the occasional snap crackle pop

also when i brake and turn i will get this ticking or clicking sound that sounds like its coming from the front suspension or steering ... anyone know a fix for this ? if this is a suspension problem would dealership cover this even tho i did install Fsport springs by another shop? and since the Fsport i have does have a TSB on it could i get them to replace it ? even tho it wasn't install by them

another problem is i get a loud "clunk" when i put the gear in D or R on cold starts or when i let go of the parking brakes.

i am just making a mental list of the things i want the dealership to look at, so i thought whats a better way to put it on CL and share it with other members but i'd love to hear your inputs

thanks!

only way to cut down on brake dust is by using ceramic pads. but the stopping response isnt as good.

Breaking distance will be the same, but brake feel will def change.

i've read the braking feel fixes the on and off feel of the brakes ...i would love this to be fix as it annoys me too

The TSIB pads will do exactly what you want. Gets rid of the excessive dust, greatly improves the brake feel (in that it's a lot more linear), and it's free under warranty.
