Front Door / Airbag Pillar Squeak

I have an Audi A4 B8 2008/9.

On both the front and passenger side I have a general squeak when driving. I can’t see to put my hands on anything to stop it or really identify where it’s coming from.

I initially thought it was within the airbag pillars, but wonder now if it’s related to the doors - seal/hinge etc?

It’s occurring on both sides and is really annoying 😂

Any ideas people?

Audi A4 B8 Small Issues

A4 2008 B8 S-Line Issues

I’ve had a high mileage A4 B8 S-Line for 6 months. I didn’t pay much for it as it’s really just for tip runs and nipping about.

There are a few small issues with it I’d like so solve and could do with some insights if anyone has any.

Here’s the issues and my current thoughts. I’m running it on a budget so will get my own tools out if possible before garage costs:

  1. Very frustrating squeaking coming from the front pillars where I assume the airbags live? Not sure how to solve.

  2. Heat comes from the windscreen clear heater, but not really from the normal heater mode. If this is a dash out problem, I’ll just live with it 😂

  3. Wobble felt when in motion, regardless of in gear or not. I’m assuming wheel bearing(s) most likely culprit.

  4. Sun visors have no ‘catch’ to latch the visors into. Is the small plastic latch section replaceable?

  5. Suspension is very hard, likely shot. Might look for some lightly used parts to save on cost.

Yesterday I ticked off a couple of door actuators which had seized, and have front washer jets to swap out today.
