I recently purchased my second S.. an '05 Berlina.

Have this noise coming from the center console..thought maybe somoene could help me out.

When I lift my elbow off the leather part of the center console, there is a clicking sound. It's coming from the top left corner (near where the leather piece ends and the sliding piece ends). I can push down on that area and replicate the clicking sound.
I took the car in to the dealer and they said that they can not figure out how to fix this problem.

Does anyone have any idea what to do?
Thanks in advance

 

I'd try removing the center console yourself to see if one of the clips are broken or something.

You just start lifting towards the back and keep pulling straight up and it should come loose.

If you can't get a good grip on it, take a flat head screwdriver and put some tape around the tip so you don't damage your center console, and pry it up a bit ... then lift.

 

thanks for the advice... i wish they would have addressed this.. i thought it was just one piece though..

 

It is one piece, but if one of your clips is broken or not put on correctly then it might be sitting funny and the clicking you hear each time is the clip rubbing against something underneath.
