Couple of Questions

[OttawablueP5]

Hi I'm new to the board and I've got a couple questions

I'm driving an 2003 P5 with 96,000km on it, Manual, no mods and I've got couple problems:

A)I get a creek from the driver side front when slowly going over bumps

and

B)Grinds going into 3rd gear, usually when at a higher than normal RPM, the higher the worse it is.

Now I've got the extended warranty which covers me till 110,000km and am curious if it will cover one or both of my problems. I'm assuming the Tranny will be covered as I suspect the synchro is shot. It's more the suspension I'm curious about. I'll be swinging by the stealership in my area probably monday to have'm take a look but any input is appreciated

Thanks,
Nick

The warranty should cover the grind into third. It is most likely synchronizers. The creaking probably just needs lubrication.

The creaking could also be a worn strut mount - sometimes the rubber bushings wear out and you get that creak. I have to replace mine as soon as I get paid...
