Hi all, I have an A3 8P 1.6 TDI 2010. I am hearing 2 sounds from the car and I do not know whether they are normal or whether something is wrong. No warning lights have come up on the dash and as far as I can tell, there is no loss of power. I have only recently gotten into cars so your thoughts and advice would be much appreciated! Sound Under the Bonnet There is a sound under the bonnet when the car is idling. Here is a link to a video of the car when idling: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_sKT7rQp9FdsMdGPaHqQMRCyQ82NQGuo/view?usp=drive_link And when the car is being revved: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q_FSVZm4kz-Pgl536Pj6Ky2OH-nMoLrA/view?usp=drive_link It's a faint sound that can be heard in the background of the loud engine noise and fluctuates in pitch, it sort of sounds like a straight metal sheet being bent back and forth (not sure how else to describe it!). Sound When Accelerating There is a sound on the driver's side when accelerating, especially in the 1K-2K RPM range (above 2K the engine noise drowns out the sound but it is there). Here is a video of me accelerating the car (taken from passenger side so the sound may not be particularly clear): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MvTShvO7nukB-CajJ1aTcoN1OB9cmfPW/view?usp=drive_link The sound is similar to the one in this Youtube video but is more "airy" for lack of a better word: Once again, your advice would be much appreciated!

Hi guys, I purchased a 1.4 tfsi 2015 A1 a few weeks ago, and on test driving I noticed that after a drive both at idle and when the engine is off, there is a metallic ticking noise. It does stop when I turn the engine off, takes minutes or so. I did ask the dealer to check but they said its fine, and explained it was something to do with combustion or compression or something. It is the same sound you hear when an exhaust is hot, and ticks when It cools down. But it does it even after a Short drive and every single time I drive it. Just wondering if anybody has similar noises or any idea as it does make me a little worried. Thank You.

Hi My Audi Q7 (2007) has some ticking noise coming from engine, is this normal? Ticking definitely coming from the sides of the engine. Starting to here it more when accelerating, even over music. (Might be hearing it more because I'm being paranoid about it ;) Here a video, best to here it with headphones as you can here it louder when I move mic to sides of the engine. I looked at a few videos on YouTube and cannot here this noise and read is some USA forums that this noise is normal? Just some advice on this. Thanks
