padger6119 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Recently got myself an A3. All good. But get a strange noise when accelerating at 60mph..... Nothing at all up until then but as soon as you accelerate past 60mph it sounds like driving over small cats eyes, as soon as you back off the accererator no noise at all. Back on and there it is... Needed 2 front tyres and still there. No blips when accelerating and pulls ok.... Anyone any ideas???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffcoggin Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Then how about giving us some clues as to what you have investigated in the two months since posing your question. Presumably you have looked into tyre condition, tyre balance, steering joints, suspension joints, wheel bearings, rack mountings etc. Let us know what you have found to give us some useful information to work on.
