Ok
So I have the same problem.
I don’t think it’s your battery. I believe it will possible be the start button.
if you press the start button down hard when you start the engine it shouldn’t show an error.
Thanks for joining me on this one.
Thought I was going crazy.
Don’t know about yours but I notice the engine much quieter and seems more responsive and less snatchy in slow traffic too. The usual injector pinging noise goes away too.
My mechanic suggested it’s the EGT sensors at fault but I’m...
Any direct injection diesel will make this noise. It’s the high pressures the injectors work at. You won’t hear it on a petrol engine. The dealer may not ****** the timing because they will say it’s normal but worth a try. If not a remap specialist could probably do it.
Going from a 3.0tdi to a 2.0tdi you will definitely notice a big difference. Also the 2.0tdi will eventually ping probably worse than your A7.
You should definitely get in the habit of higher octane fuel. It’s more expensive but does help. The higher cetane/octane will allow the combustion to...
It certainly wouldn’t hurt to try. Audi engines always sound a little rough it’s just the way they are.
But I would certainly try a higher octane fuel. Even better would be to buy cetane booster in pure form from amazon etc. You add this to the fuel and seriously increases the octane rating...
Second solution.......
The tinkling sound you are hearing is probably rebounding off walls and cars right ?. If it’s this then it’s your injectors. Not too much you can do about this as I’ve had new injectors and it still tinkles at low rpms.
I didn’t ask if it’s diesel or not ?. But I’m...
Hi Buddy
You’ve just answered your own question...
Air con ..!!
That’s what’s causing the tinkling sound. You mentioned that the AC is making a strange noise. Would this noise sound like a vacuum cleaner noise when switched on and reviving?.
Try this.......
When your driving the car select...
Hi All
Thought I’d share this with you in case it helps someone......
Has any 3.0tdi CDUC, CDUD owners who have higher mileage engines notice a more pronounced diesel clatter noise at idle or at low rpm and maybe notice the engine isn’t quite as smooth in low rpm as it used to be ?.
Here may be...
Hi Guys
So I have the 3.0tdi CDUC engine
No fault codes
However
Exhaust temp sensor 2 is always at 220c with 0mv voltage
Even when completely cold the temp is the same at 220c. The other 3 sensors work fine and are constantly changing but sensor seems stuck.
Is this normal?.
Hi Guys
Little stumped on this one if anyone can help?.
I have an A7 3.0tdi 2012.
Really simple question. Before Dpf regeneration engine sounds like a bag of nails and runs rough. After Dpf regeneration engine is a bad of nails and runs rough. But during Dpf regeneration the car is silky smooth...
Car isn’t showing a single error on VCDS. Service history has been very good always done on time at Audi including when the chains and tensioners were replaced. The problem occurred before this though.
I’ll try and send a video clip with the noise. When driving today the second I take my foot...
Thanks for replying RAF
It’s been checked through VCDS and Car is as clean as a whistle not a single fault. The annoying part is it won’t make the noise when idling and only seems to do it under load. I have two mechanics say two different things. One says it’s starving of air and the other...
Hi Guys
I’m driving an Audi A7 2012 3.0tdi Quattro 245cv.
I have this diésel like ticking noise when accelerating slowly. It increases with the rpm and may be present at higher revs but road noise makes it’s quiet.
I recently had all chains etc done so chain rattle is completely ruled out.
