VW has gottta address these strut mounts, because they suck.
Front strut mounts: at 8947 miles. Only happened after warm up. Covered under warranty has not happened since.
I have had ongoing issues I have continuously had with my TCROSS, I have had to bring the vehicle in several times over the past 6 moths with the same issues. Loud clucking noise also left hand front of car My mechanic has stated that there is an issue with the front suspension/strut mount - VW not taking it serious at all.
Replacement of upper strut mount indeed took care of the clunking issue we had with the car.
Replacing the HD mounts with OEM mounts definitely seem to have solved the problem as I haven't heard any noises in years.
Update. Dealer did strut mounts, and other parts related to strut mounts? I haven't gotten my paperwork yet, they're supposed to email it to me. But they did mounts for sure, I believe end links, and did an alignment. Squeaks are all gone, for now. Alltrack drives excellent.
Looks like for some it is the bearings. For me, it was the strut mounts.
Figured I should give an update to anyone who was interested. I finally decided to just replace the HD mounts for some OEM VW ones. Haven't really had any problems since although sometimes I swear I still hear the same noises just much much fainter.
I replaced my front strut mount/bearing when installing new set up yesterday and the new VW OEM mounts did not have the tab on the edge like the original ones did that when installed you have pointed forward, the new VW OEM mounts have an arrow on top of mount that I you have pointed towards front of the car when installed.
