2000 A6 Avant Scraping

[jmg1975]

Hi

I've a 1.8T Avant, with factory fitted mud-flaps that seem to be scraping when going over bumps in the road, is this normal?

I had a problem with Oil Pump and Turbo a while back and when that was resolved, the belly pan was not fitted back correctly. I thought the scraping noise may have been that, but now I've fitted that properly, something is still scraping the road when going over road-humps, or just when on a bumpy road. (I live in Ireland, so that happens a lot!)

I think it's the mud-flaps hitting the road, but can anyone point me to what this may be being caused by?

Sorry, I'm not exactly mechanically minded, but I figure it could be, Suspension Struts, Suspension Springs, or Suspension Bushes, or something else.

Can anyone advise how to work out what may be the root cause, and recommend a fix?

It's not that ciritical but I'd rather get it fixed if at all possible.

Thanks

Hey,
I have a 2001 audi a6 and im quite concerned as that happens to me too. I figured it was the mad faps and it seems to happen on the left hand side(passanger side). let me know if you get it checked out or find out the root cause.

Thanks,

Soheil.
