Lewis Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Hi 2004 1.8T Quattro 190 Wondering if anyone has had any similar problems or can give advice. My car seems very refined to drive until I accelerate/put the car under hard load above 3000rpm. It then sounds very harsh and loud - and not in a good way. Also the car seems to have a very loud drone/hum at 80MPH which sounds like it is coming from under my feet/back of the engine. Clutch/Exhaust/Sensors/Transmission etc? Now I understand the cars are generally viewed as loud engines, but I know this is more than that. My girlfriends 1.4 diesel car is actually quieter at 80MPH. Any help would be appreciated.

Steve Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hi And welcome to the club Does the car judder when pulling away? I am thining Gearbox, Flywheel (although it would judder when pulling away) hard to tell without hearing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hi Steve, Thank you very much for replying. The car doesn't noticeably judder when pulling off. To be honest it seems smooth and quiet. I am concious that if anything the clutch bite point seems high, but with no slippage I am dubious if this would cause the symptoms I am encountering.

Lewis Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Just a note to say I still have this issue, it has never got any better or any worse. The noise/loudness completely disappears if I press in the clutch, which suggests to me that it may be connected to the drivetrain of the car?! Who knows!! After about 75mph the loudness change in tone from the engine is crazy to be honest, I wish I was imagining it!because I have no idea what it could be!

Audi Owners Club Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Sounds obvious but have you checked the wheel bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
