Was having a bad day and accidentally pushed too hard in the wrong angle and it fell off. Is there any way I can push this back in or do I have to order a new part since its broken or snapped?
I have a 2013 A4, and the Audi tech at the oil change recommended these need replacing sooner. I hear a slight clink or knock sound that is somewhat noticeable but at the same time still pretty quiet and only happens in certain situations. These sounds come from the left side and mostly happen on slower left turns, like at a green light or intersection, and not faster or flowing corners. They occur with a pretty high steering angle along with pressing the throttle moderately—the harder end while going slower and lower throttle does not cause noise. The sounds also occur when turning right, but only when you throttle hard enough with a high steering angle. I know these are pretty or can be really bad, but are these bushings really safe to drive with, and also, how long and how bad are these?
Recently, my car showed me an error light when I was driving home from the hospital. I had opened and closed my trunk prior to this issue in the parking lot. Some things to note are that the alarm system stopped working when my battery died from the auto start/stop, and my car struggled to turn on when I was waiting in a drive-thru with auto start/stop (it bogged / rpms went up slowly like the car was acting it had low power). Another thing is that I wiped the trunk sensor, closed the trunk, and shut the car down or put it in accessory mode and then turned it on. The trunk lights turn on but then shut off when I turn the signals on. Does anyone know if this is a battery issue or trunk sensor or anything I should know to help me find the issue with the car?
