Posted this in general as its more of a gearbox question rather than a specific B8 question. My car makes a rattling/thudding sound when it Park or Neutral. Its definitely gearbox related because when I put it into Drive or Reverse it goes quiet and you can just hear the engine. I can only...

Me and a few friends were servicing my car tonight, new oil, filters, plugs etc... Stupidly loosened the sump plug on my DSG box thinking it was the oil sump. As soon as I saw the yellow fluid come out I knew what I'd done and tightened the sump plug back up straight away. Reckon I lost around...

Not having much luck with this car! Its making a single clunking/knocking noise when i'm pulling away from stationary just as the clutch bites and the wheels start to pull the car along. I can only describe it as a pop/ click noise which sounds like its coming from underneath the car somewhere...

The Audi saga continues! :audibash: The car is making a 'thudding noise' which is coming from underneath the nearside rear passenger seats when the engine is running. I've had the car up on a ramp and the resonator (which is directly below the rear passenger seats) is knackered. When you give...

Hi all, I've got a whine coming from the engine at 2,000 rpm. Sounds like a turbo but i'm really starting to notice it like its getting louder. This happens whilst being driven (can be heard in 1st & 2nd gear before road noise takes over) and when the car is stationary. I've read some...

Stuck a post in the general section, but so far nobdoy has replied.. Specs: Audi A4 1.8 TFSI (160) 2008 47k on the clock with FSH I've had an hesitation on the engine when accelerating hard under full load. Usually happens at around 4,000 - 5,000 rpm, feels like I've hit a brick wall when it...

The car is a 1.8 TFSI (160) 2008 A4 on 47k but the question is about the engine so hopefully owners of other models can help. Basically there is an hesitation on the engine when accelerating hard under full load. Usually happens at around 4,000 - 5,000 rpm, feels like I've hit a brick wall...

Evening, Been using the car all day, was picking the Mrs up from the Trafford and was doing around 80 mph on the way back and the Mrs commented on how the car sounded like we were in a jetliner in mid air as it was making a slight humming. As usual I just ignored her however when I got off the...

Got the car scanned on VCDS today.. Threw up this fault code.. 2968 - Intake Manifold Flap Position Sensor (Blank 1) P2015 00 [101] - Implausible Signal. Anyone got any ideas? I haven't noticed anything untoward with the car!

Picked up my new car this weekend.... Its a 2008 1.8t S-Line in Red. Car only has 45k on the clock and is in immaculate condition. Absolutely fantastic motor... find myself driving around aimlessly because I enjoy driving it so much! I've had a look through the service history (it has five...

Hi all, Just picked up my B8 2008 Audi S-Line today... LOVE IT! In my old car, which had about 15 million 12v sockets, I used to have a 0801 Mini Dashcam which I had powered off the 12v outlet in the rear with all the cables running under the center console up into the glovebox and along the...

Evening all Finally found an A4 in my budget. Its an 1.8t S-Line in red with 42k on the clock. The spec isn't great but its got the Bang & Ofulson stereo system and is apparently in great condition. I've read about the oil consumption issues, are there any tell tale signs to identify whether...

Hi all, newbie to the forums.. Looking at buying an A4 S-Line to replace my current motor. My budget is around 12k-15k and ideally I don't want anything with over 50k on the clock. Was wondering if anyone on here had any tips (other than the usual kick of the tyre!) on what to look out for...
