S-tronic Noise

Featured Replies

Hi everybody, French here so, sorry for my poor English (I tried to write in English without Google translator :))

I've bought an Audi A1, 1.4 TFSI 185 last month (62000Km).

I have some noises with the Stronic Gearbox, but not like the "normal" s-tronic metallic noises.

First, I can hear a whistle (like Chewbacca noises ^^) -> Here a video of the noise : https://vimeo.com/256468769

And, when I park I can hear a little "clac" when I switch between D and R (like my old ford fiesta ^^)

Someone has already heard this kind of noises ?

Welcome to the forum Sam, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) 

Have you checked the service history to see when the oil was last changed? 

It might be worth you booking your a1 in for a diagnostic check and for an oil change. 

Sorry I can't help more. 

Also we'd love to see pics of your a1 in France :) we have a whole section on audis from around the world. Here's the thread: 

 

Cheers

Thanks for your answer,

The main service has been made at 62000km, and the S-tronic does not require any oil change for this kind of gearbox (DQ200).

I would add pics of my A1 when the sun will be present in the north :D

If definitely get it checked because if there is broken or loose parts in the gearbox then they could be doing more damage. 

Nice one! 😀 I'll look forward to seeing the pics :)
