Interested in the result mate. Any news? Fingers crossed

Cool, ty. The thermostat and water pump was replaced under warranty by an independent dealer so if I lose coolant again I’ll just take it to an independent Audi specialist and bite the bullet and pay to get it sorted.

Thanks. I thought air pockets usually cleared out after 15-20 mins of driving? It took 4 weeks / 200-300 miles for it to drop

I had my water pump & thermostat replaced about 5 weeks ago due to a coolant leak. Up to now it has been at a steady level with no loss. I checked this morning and it had dropped quite a bit just above min level. Is it normal to have some loss after replacing water pump? I’ve filled it back...

Came across this post: https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/weird-“hmm”-noise-on-cold-startup.9300491/ Comment #15 links a video which sounds similar. seems to be normal

“ Interesting… Funny you mention rain, I’ve had my S3 for a month now and never noticed it until this week when the rain returned. How long has yours behaved like this? Did you get an answer online or did you take it somewhere to get checked out?

Just to add to this, it doesn’t always do it, seems to be random. Also, sometimes it will do it once, sometimes it will do it 2-3 times.

Hey mate, did anything come from this? Mine seems to do it once during start up but that's it.
