Metal Ting Noise During Active Ride Comfort Access

[crizza]

I have a CT 4 w/ Active Ride and a few times, when exiting the car, the comfort access lifts the car up and I hear a bit of stressed metal and then a "ting" as it deflects/pops whatever it was hung up on. It doesn't happen every time, not reproducible. I thought maybe uneven ground aggravated it, or maybe Smart Lift + Comfort Access. Any ideas before I bring into dealer?

Parking brake is my guess. I have a similar sound on mine when parking on a slope, not every time but often. Where does the sound come from? J1.2 only has one parking brake actuator on the rear left wheel.

I've heard this as well on my J1.2 e-tron GT, tends to happen more when it's cold outside.

Hard to tell because I'm still inside, but it's loud and close, so I'd guess rear left or thereabouts.

Important to bring this into the dealer. With new tech, they will need to log complaints from real world use to fully shake down the system, handle repairs and make improvements.

Definitely rear left side for me - thanks for the parking brake info!
