Eos squeaking problem

[langhurst]

We took delivery of our Eos TDI on 10 November. 10 days later it was making a squeaking / rattling noise coming from rear shelf/roof mechanism area every time it went over the slightest bump or uneven bit of road. The noise got worse and worse, so i rang up the dealer and took it straight in. They went for a ride in it, agreed something was wrong and booked it in but couldn't do it for a week. When it went in, they lubricated boot/roof seals. Car was fine for 2-3 days, then noise came back. Took car back in, and they said boot/roof seal needed to be replaced as was perished (?!- car 3-4 weeks old!). Got car back just before Christmas. 2-3 days later noise back again. Car now back in dealership. They have given us a courtesy car which is a brand new Eos done 100 miles, and yesterday that started the same noise! Dealer manager now intimating that this is just an inherent feature of this car, but it's really an unacceptable and continuous squeaking whilst driving. I know that the dealership had at least one car back with the problem as the mechanic told me so. Anyone else had this problem?

I've also had a problem with a squeak on my Eos. I guess i was putting up with it cos I'm not that good at dealing with the 'Dealers' but during the christmas downpour (and i'm in wales so granted it may have been worse ere than most places!) i had a bit of a flood in the passenger side. Front seat completely soaked and it seemed to be coming from the squeak area.....Now i'm not good with the the lingo as i am a bit of a girl but the 'fabric' bit on the side panel near the roof (??) was where i think it came in. Its going in on Friday (courage to confront them at last!!)

Suddenly the squeak didnt seem as important.... All that dosh and its pouring in!! I've only had it since November!!!

Anyone had a similar problem???????
