Hi all,
My mate has a 2011 Audi A3 8P 1.2TFSi and it’s sounds like a tractor!! When I heard it today I said jeez you need that looking at and he said he’s taken it to two garages already and they didn’t know what it was. Once the car is warmed up it makes no noise and is as silent as a church mouse, but a cold start is awful! The car is on 48k miles and has had a recent oil change. The cambelt has not been changed (I told him off for that as that’s where I think the sound is coming from) and there are no lights on the dashboard. He says that there are no fault codes according to the last garage he went to, but I didn’t have my scanner with me when I saw him earlier. We took a video as it was hard to describe and I’ve attached it to Dropbox. Not sure if this will work properly but if you reckon you might know what it is, he’d be really appreciative. Thanks.
