Oh stop whining !

[paddy]

2011 S3, 52k miles and i have whine from the back at 65-70mph, stops after 70mph ( or gets drowned out), seems to only do it after about 30 miles (so once things warm up) , only does it at a steady speed so slight throttle/pull at 65mph and it stops back off and let it run on cruise and it comes back. does it in all gears and neutral at 70, doesnt get worse on corners. sounds like a constant engaged tone on the phone......drives me crazy
Also brakes juddering after about 20 miles ie: when hot. classic warped discs but i had new ones fitted and its still doing it ?
apart from this and the constant orange engine light its still going well at 50k miles......

thoughts ??

The rear ends on S3's do have a slight whine, bad tyres could cause a whine also.

Thanks Dave, i have had this car from new and its only been doing this for the last couple of thousand miles so i dont think its generic ..

Get it on a ramp and check the read diff

 

[paddy]

Think thats going to be the next move. I will be pretty sick if its the diff after 50k miles.....
