hi, 2014 Audi A3 1,4 TFSI COD with 97000km and I have been heavily struggling to find reason for ”rubbing” ”noise from front of the car when turning to left. Noise is gone when driving straight or turning right. I have changed myself: front wheel bearings, left driveshaft and left top strut bearing… these were not a solution. Car is at the moment (2.11.2021) in our local Audi dealer workshop for gearbox check… I got today information, gearbox is disassembled… differential and it’s bearings are damaged… RCA found!
They have repaired ”few” (as they said) similar cases during past years… I have a strong feeling that this is a quite common issue on these cars. Repair cost estimate is now 3000eur, let’s see where we land in the end.
