Hi All,
I think I may have this noise for a while – but maybe starting to be aware of it more. It is best described as a feint hight pitched whine from the front end when cruising at a constant speed 60 – 70 mph) with a very small throttle opening. Coming off the throttle the noise goes away, apply a little more throttle (to accelerate or if needed to maintain speed) the noise goes away, knock thew box into neutral, the noise goes away.
Changing down a gear does not seem to make a difference – it seems related to road speed not RPM – and a very small throttle opening / small load on engine / driveline.
Most of the time it is drowned out by the normal noise of 19” wheels – so most noticeable on a perfectly smooth road surface.
I have had the car from new (2019 A4 40 TDI S-Line – DSG). Mileage is high now (160k) but up to date on all services / DSG fluid changes etc…). Car drives fine, no knocks, vibrations etc… and the gear shifts are smooth.
Interested in any ideas.
