Creaking noise in front dash/console ??

Creaking noise in front dash/console ??
Has anybody else had experiences with a creaking sound that comes from the steering console and dashboard ?
I took delivery of my 8 in Oct '03 and have only clocked up 2500kms. I first started noticing the creaking noise when turning corners after clocking up around 1200kms. It apprears to be getting progressively worse and now really starting to **** me off.
Does this sound like a similar experience with anyone else and have you been able to get it fixed ?

Yep, I got a couple. One is in the instrument cluster. Another seems to be coming from somewhere near the gear stick. About to do my first real service - will be getting it looked into then.

There is good news ahead .. and bad.
The steering wheel noise is well discussed in the forum, just do a search, and it seems the service guys can fix it! I never had this.
I experienced the noise in the dash and it got worse and the dealer was scheduled to do surgery but at around 14000km, the noise vanished!!
Yippeeee

I had a similar noise i initially thought it was coming from dash or the steering wheel .
I quickly realized the noise actually came from my drivers seat especially on hard right and left hand turns however after 2 weeks it dissapeared .

Im pretty sure he said it was a known service bulletin issue, and the fix was to put some silastic, or similar, on the seat mounts.
I must confess I didn't look at what he actually did, I had my head buried in one of his manuals, looking at O2 sensor stuff![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
