Suspension Spring Noises!!!

[Waine]

Morning I have had my t6 2015 camper conversion for about 5 weeks. I have had a couple of issues since then the main one know is creaking /clunking for the driver side suspension or brakes.
I took it back to the dealer he had it for couple of days of which he said the garage stripped it back couldn't find any thing wrong with the top mounts, so they put it down to dry rubbers/joints/mounts etc.
Picked up my bus on the Monday evening and all was quite like a new vehicle , Till Wednesday when I noticed the clunking and creaking was coming back. And today a week later its back being noisy like a old van, it now sounds like when I took it back . I will be contacting the dealer today but if there is any info that would help me with before I make the call I would Gratefully appreciate it.
Regards waine.

My T6 is just over two years old and does the same. Its been back to VW and they couldn't find anything. I spoke to the company I bought it from and they said it was just the new suspension, just the springs coming back nothing to worry about. It only does it a very low speed usually when I'm in first gear and mostly when I'm turning right but not all the time.

Maybe they have been seated incorectly in the mountings, that would be my guess.
What your hearing is metal to metal contact ( springs on top or lower mounts), so they probably just gave it a good squirt of WD40 as a short term fix.

Thanks sounds very similar to me thanks, we shouldnt put up with what vw will call a characteristic of the vehicle . The trouble is when you no its there you listen for it. Thanks again waine

Thanks for your reply, that's exactly what they have done greased all the joints said that will sort it! NOT. When you spend 30k plus you want it run and sound like fairly new van not like a 30 year old van. THANKS AGAIN will post if the dealer sorts this.
