This condition may occur more frequently during cold weather conditions (without rain), and the noise will disappear as temperature increases. This PSS TSB does not apply to Q5 2.0T and Hybrid models. Various parts have been replaced under warranty for the condition noted above, but no issues have been identified with the replaced parts.
