Hello, hope someone can shed a bit of light on this for me, I have a Allroad A6 3.0tdi sport quattro with 96000:mile on it, my car make a noise like pinking ,the noise you get in petrol engines when fuel is wrong for example. I only does it when I accelerate i.e underload not so much in the mornings but only slight, this seems to be the only problem and it doesn't effect the cars performance, and no fault codes, any ideas anyone.

Update , 2 new tyre on front, so new tyres all around , still humming . So my only other thinking is a wheel bearing, on same side as the cv joint was changed on .

I'd definitely recommend speaking to the company that sold you it. Just in case they sold you the wrong parts to make it fit your dash.

If bought from a dealer within the first 30 days of sale then you're entitled to a full refund or for them to fix the car free of charge

Keep us posted on how you get on

Paul would you care to edit your last message. I think you omitted your own text as it contains nothing but quotations of the two previous messages.

Seen loads of these stories. If selling a car make sure you're not alone. Make sure they either come alone or with one other person. Anymore people refuse to see them.

Hello David, This thread originated 4 years ago, so could you start a new thread and clearly outline your symptoms -as you would if starting from scratch. Many thanks, Gareth

See blow post that I put on my F/B profile. I’m so annoyed and I now have to go to the expense & inconvenience of having my water system flushed out. Why O why do sleazebags do this to us! Grr

Hi all Wondering if anyone can help with the fitment of this screen, I purchased a 8.9 inch Android screen, the wiring and getting it working was a total breeze - Glove box removal, trim, feeding wires etc... Now here comes the most confusing part. My car is a RHD, UK model. The screen does not fit on the iron frame (something you need to screw in for the screen to sit on) and the plastic surrounding the frame seems to be getting in the way, it maybe a modification is needed i.e. by cutting some trim away See, if I remove the bottom right plastic (circled in pink) the screen screws fine on the frame but when I install the plastic frame housing the bezel of the screen shows OK to then have to shift the frame to the left?.... So if I remove the top right plastic (circled in pink) then the screen does not align with the iron frame? I thought this would just fit? Anyone else had to modify the plastic in order for it to fit or have I just bought the wrong item, seller confirmed this was correct but I guess they would do

You need to get a pry-bar on the suspension. Arms are usually good for around 80k miles. Upper arms possibly. An inspection of the engine and transmission mount would be worthwhile as suggested. If you are changing arms, Meyle HD or Lemforder only.

Hi my Audi A6 C7 3.0tdi Allroad makes the same noise any ideas

The clusters can't be swapped out easily as they have the imobiliser built in.

That is impressive

Could it be an engine or gearbox mount?

Hey guys I have an A4 8.5 2013 SE Technik which has an odd noise for what appears to be coming from the drivers side front. When I accelerate in lower gears such as 1st gear from standstill, there is a clunk sound. When pulling out of junctions and turning left or right the noise also occurs. When driving the car the noise can sound like 1 clunk or 2 or 3 at the same time? Anyone recognise this sound? The drivers side lower forward arm and drop link has already been replaced. 20250613161925-007.WAV

Yes I have had a look here and on other places to could not find anything I think it something to do with the blend door vent thing as on drive side you can feel the air con slightly but passenger side just stay on what ever the temp is set to with no air con

Have you searched and read the forum posts associated with air conditioning?

Not that you can do anything about it with your current wheels, but large wheels = skinny profile tyres = horrible ride quality = harsh stresses on sidewalls, which usually results in a necessity to have XL tyres, which just compounds the ill effects of above!

Thank you for your reply Is the pressure sensor the same as the turbo pressure sensors or is it something different I will have a look into it love the car only owned it since last year love the drive just the odd little problem I am having Will defo get it checked as it getting hotter and I spend a lot of time on the motorways so defo need to be done The code that comes up I have looked around and all I can find is that code for a different system not the air con It a strange one and will update soon as it sorted I hope Thanks

Tyres nowadays have noise ratings as well as speed, grip, energy efficiency and other ratings. Do let us know the outcome.

think its definitely the oil gauge as just a little tap on the screen in front of it makes it return to normal reading tho some days fine others all over the place. will remove and test the fuel level sender when i have time but think finding a replacement not going to be easy

Welcome Clifford and thanks for joining. Sorry, but I’ve no idea about the long code, but probably worth searching other threads on air con. issues which were attributed to an inexpensive pressure sensor - I think. Having said that, a family member had their compressor changed at great expense and to no avail, so I would be tempted to first seek advice from a VAG independent and/ or an Air con. specialist. Might well be worth trying the pressure sensor first - a low cost option. Hopefully, someone else will come up with more advanced responses. Please let us know how you get on. Regards, Gareth.
