My new K has only covered a little over 800 miles and I too already have the same creaking noise, mine sounds worse at the front driver's side area. Surely this can't be the droplinks so soon?
In the next few days, I'm going to empty the boot (ST) glove box and all cubby holes just to make sure it's not a noise I've created.

I have something similar, but mine is nowhere near as loud or consistent as that. Just the same noise but quieter/less consistent...Booked in for Thursday so let's hope it gets fixed!! Not good seeing this is the 3rd time for you fingers crossed.

Weird one for me...and sorry I didn't update earlier. Got the car back last Thursday, and they did the following:
1. An ECU update (yeah I know...explain that one!!)
2. Drained all oil, replaced oil filter, filled up with brand new oil.
They said that I was on minimum oil which should not have been the case for a 7 month old car!
All pushed through on warranty. Funny story, they wouldn't give me a courtesy car as I am 20! Nonetheless, car has been OK since, so hope you get it sorted Jonny.

Yeah I questioned that, and they don't think it was filled up to the correct amount, and wasn't rectified at the PDI stage. They have confirmed there is no leak. Strange, but there you go :lol:

Hi yes I have also noticed this creaking noise when parking in my garage. It doesn't seem to do it every time but I did read on another thread that VX have said that it is normal and just a characteristic of the power steering!!
Keep us informed if you get any success.

Yeah took it down...they said it's not normal and sounds like worn bushes. Could be possibly the anti roll bars or suspension struts1. It's booked back in for Monday for them to have another look at.
