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
