Help with my a4 b8 problems please

[badayuni83]

I purchased a b8 2.0 tdi manual from what I thought was a reputable dealer. I have had the car a few months and I am slowly starting to notice certain things that don't seem right. I would be so grateful if anyone could tell me what my problems are

The car is 1 owner from new with 62k miles full Audi service history 2.0 tdi manual 2010 year

Problem 1

If the car is stationary and in neutral if i push the clutch in and release it slowly as if I am in gear setting off the rev counter moves as if it thinks I need the biting point but I am in neutral. If I release the clutch the rev return to normal but there is a delay

I also noticed that sometimes the clutch squeaks when being pressed. Not sure of this is anything to do with the problem.

Problem 2

When the engine is underload high gear low speed I can hear an awful rattle sounds like the exhaust. Nothing is loose I have been told that the baffles inside the backbox have collapsed is this a possibility or a more serious problem?

Problem 3

When i accelerate sharply I can hear a whistling noise from the engine only occurs under sharp acceleration in high revs

Problem 4

Occasionally the idle speed is 1000 rpm then after sometime returns to normal. Not sure is this is related to the clutch issues I mentioned

Problem 5

Terrible fuel economy. Getting 26mpg around town

Any help would be so appreciated

First port of call, I'd say get it scanned for any logged faults with VCDS ( there's prob someone near to you hopefully who can help in exchange for a coupla beer tokens)

+1 Get it scanned first with VCDS or similar, will give you lots of information. Where about's are you located?

There is a VCDS map on this site, so check it out and see if you can find someone local.
