noise

Hi guys, Desperately need your help before I loose my marbles I have an A3 8V 1.6 tdi, 38K miles on the clock. There seems to be some sort of chattering/knocking noise when taking off in 1st and 2nd gear, and on a cold start, once the engine heats its seems to disappear. My main concern is...

Hello all, Past couple days my car's developed a noise, bit with no other symptoms. Last service was 3,500 miles ago. Thought it might be the cambelt wearing at first but I've identified where the noise is coming from (check video). As you can see it's the plastic popping in and out as the...

Hello all - I am new to the forum so please excuse me picking the brains of wiser heads than my own as an introduction... I have had a 2017 model for about 6 months now - absolutely brilliant car to drive. It is a true Jekyll & Hyde: docile and refined in town and something else when the space...

Hi folks, how's things? I have a very loud Scraping / Grinding sound on front of my engine. The noise is external, as apposed to inside the block. It could be coming from either the timing area, the serpent belt adjuster, one of the pumps or the Alternator, I can't work out which. The first 3...

Hi all, I understand that these engines have a camshaft bearing bridge for oil flow to the camshaft VVT pulleys, and that there is a small mesh filter and ball valve built in that can break up and cause issues, I have looked online and can only see this mesh on these units that have VVT on the...

Ok, so Ive had my MY17 TTS about 2 months and this is something I noticed immediately in comparison to my old S3. When the car is in Dynamic mode and the Gearbox is in "S", if the revs are medium to high and I let off the the throttle the car makes a strange metallic crackling noise that's very...

Pardon me for posting my Golf R question here but researching online it looks like there is expertise here since Audi uses more Haldex than VW and the S3 is a similar setup to my car. (I do have a Q7 and my son's S4 stores in my shed and I just sold my A4 - which I loved... so hopefully you...

Hello! I'm having this weird noise coming from the gearbox. It occurs when the gear is on P or N. When you shift to D or R, it disappears. Flywheel has been replaced, but no impact whatsoever to the noise. The noise actually got a bit more silent, but I think it's because the gearbox oil was...

how do guys, so.. I recently changed the steering rack on my a3 8p along with a bunch of other front end tackle while i had the subframe off, now i have assembled it all back together im getting the dreaded subframe crack. and its really loud and embarrasing, it cracks probably 3 times during...

When my car is under load there is a weird noise coming from the front drivers side. Its not a wheel bearing because they have just been replaced and if i knock it in to N the noise disappears. Garage isn’t 100% on what it is either. Anyone have any idea?

Hi I have a 2014 a6 avant There is a annoying creak in the boot. I have stripped the boot down Spare wheel..covers..spanners etc etc all out. Taken the rear parcel shelf out etc and still no joy. Today completely took the interior boot trims apart but still the creak is there. On weight...

Hi Everyone! I have an issue what Audi Service seems to be unable to fix. I have a very strange noise coming from my car at cold start, for a few disturbing seconds, then it goes away. This happens almost every time I start the car, even after 15 minute rest. I have attached a google drive...

Hi I hope you're all well! I recently fitted an Xtrons android head unit to my 8p s3 2010 facelift and noticed when I first opened the box that it comes with a Quadlock to ISO adapter however the original plug on my car IS a Quadlock so ideally I need a Quadlock to Quadlock loom but I am unable...

Thought this might be of some use to those looking at tyre options for their S3s. I have an S3 Sportback with the visco-electric shocks option. I've run it for 3 years as a company car on lease, retired last year and have bought the car - best car I've driven (actually given the drive select...

Hey Guys. I bought an A3 2008 1.8 TFSI in june. Car was running fine until a few months. I start to hear weird noises like pulsating or something from the front. The sound only occurs when the engine warmed up. It can be heared when idle or in gear. If I push little gas the noise starts coming...

Good Evening! I have a 2015 Audi S1 and under heavy/full acceleration I get a rotational sounding high pitch 'ch-ch-ch' noise that increases with road speed. The noise is ONLY present under acceleration with Quattro enabled. As soon as I pull the fuse on the Haldex, the sound disappears. -...

Hi again, I have posted a couple times before and this forum is quality for getting some guidance and help. New s3 owner (not even had the car out the garage yet) so any help would be great. So far I have had the sump off and cleaned. New pick up pipe. Changed the crank position sensor and...

Hi, newbie here and this might well sound stupid.. I've just picked up a 2011 DSG S3 Sportback which I'm in love with. Everything seems fine performance wise etc other than a strange noise which seems to be coming from the Revo intake under the bonnet when accelerating. It almost sounds like a...

Hello all I have a 2017 Audi A4 2.0 TDI S-Line S-Tronic. Some time ago, I noticed I could hear a 'clunking' sound the first time the gearbox switched up from 3rd to 4th gears after starting the car. Every other gear change after that, there are no unusual noises - only the first time from a...

Greetings from a new Audi owner! It is 2018 A4 sedan 2.0 TFSI Ultra, 6-speed manual. Now 6000+ km on the clock. All is good with the car, it is comfortable and nice to drive, Matrix LED lights are awesome, but coming from Mercedes W211 I needed some time to adjust to firmer sport seats and...
