Hi i just noticed that when I turn the q7 turns off it makes a humming noise like a fan. Coming from passenger side but can hear it outside. it even does it when the car is not fully warmed up to the correct temperature. Driving it round the corner from cold and turning off the noise was still being made What is this noise? thanks

I drove the car after a couple of days but rattling didnt happen when cold start. Drove around the block until engine warmed up a bit,. Parked up and left car running and heard rattling so opened bonnet but noticed noise more on the passenger side front like somethings loose but then it stopped Could this still be a timing issue?

Cheers going to take it to the garage in the coming weeks so hopefully it will get sorted

Hi I purchased a q7 3.0 TDi 2011 few months ago and recently noticed on startup until warm there is a rattling noise coming from under the front of the car it seems. It also makes like a whooshing noise but only happens once. I have been looking around and found a post stating that it might be the cam chain tensioner. Some people it takes for the oil to go through hence why it happens I have extended warranty so will need to take it to the independent garage but curious what it could be as it will be a few weeks until i can get it in Any replies would be great Regards tjsingh
