coxman Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I have a 2017 SQ5 V6 petrol with 30k on the clock that has a chattering noise from the engine when at idle.If it was a 70's car I'd say tappets-do they have tappets these days? It's only audible with the bonnet up and turning off the AC makes no difference. It's still under an Audi used car warranty but I thought I'd try & pre-arm myself with some ideas before I go to them. Can someone recommend an indi somewhere near Watford I could go to for advice pls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Thanks David, Is this engine running on a chain rather than a belt? Hope someone comes up with a recommendation for you. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxman Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 In the end I took it to an Audi specialist in Harrow who said the rattle is normal for VAG petrols,it's the fuel injectors. Seem like a professional outfit so will be going back there for services etc. https://audivwsc.co.uk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
