Help! Bosch active line plus creak

[kevlar]

Hi all,

I have a Haibike trekking with an active line plus 2018. It has started creaking after around 700 miles.

I heard it could be the motor mount bolts being loose like here with the CX https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/slight-creak-bosch-cx-on-cube.31335/page-2

The active line plus seems different and I can’t seem to find any guides for getting at the bolts. Are the bolts on the crank side?
Has anyone done this on an ALP?

I found this which shows two hex bolts that I’ve circled in red. Are these the motor mount bolts?



Thanks for any help

there will be 3 bolts that hold it in place that holds the motor to the frame but it could be anything tbh or just the plastic making noise around the motor.

Are you sure that its the motor mount? I've just replaced by 8 year old Shimano pedals with some Nukeproof ones and that's cured my creak on the left hand side....

I tried the pedals already unfortunately, took the nuke proofs off my other bike and the creak remains! I was also thinking it could be the saddle etc but the noise is still there when I stand on the pedals off the seat.

just took that bit of plastic off on the non crank side and there are 3 big hex bolts, mounts? And 2 T30 screws. Similar to what I’ve seen in vids of the gen2 cx. Think it’s worth a shot with the torque specs in the other thread.

As an update the bike and chain needed a good clean, after that the creak mostly went away. Only one now I think is coming from the saddle/seat tube.

So easy to think it’s worse than you think, thanks for the help
