Sup all, you guys know anything that actually works on small scratches or is the best thing an expensive buffing wheel?

Another thing... you guys ever get a small pop from a bearing on the driver side? It is only when I pull around a parked car from me being parked. When I center the wheel back out I get this pop. It only happens after I start the car. Is it the quattro system kicking in or a bad arm or bearing? Ive heard with audi's complicated mechanics that it could be anything causing this pop. Thanks everyone

Im not shure if it would be to alarming. i live on a hilly street and when i aprk my car and then go to drive again after starting my car if i turn heavily my car makes a pop noise only under hard turning and then as soon as i back off and center my wheel i no longer get this unless i park my car again. dont take anything seriously form me though im 17 and new to teh whole awd in a car thing! my first car!

I get this pop sound too, and like yours it's only happens when you parked the car, so I guess there is nothing to worry about.

Ok cool, this is what i have heard (that everything is ok) I just don't want my tire up inside my wheel well from something snapping. Sometimes the pop is louder or more metal on metal sounding. Thanks

Hey, I too get the popping noise and it only happens when you move the car after parking it for an extended period of time. After having numerous threads about this issue, I've come to the conclusion that it is your four wheel drive engaging. You'll notice that all the people who complain of this noise has a quattro and it only happens once (the popping noise). After that you won't hear it because the quattro is engaged.

Now for the scratch issue. I too had a small scratch and a few blemishes on my older car and mcguire's scratch removal paste can help. BUT keep in mind that it ONLY works on FINE scratches...which is literally VERY thin scratches...it doesn't work on big/deep ones. You need to get that done professionallly.

i have FWD, so i don't think it happens because of quattro.

Ive heard that it is the quattro. but andriy has cvt. its probably fine like you all say. Im thinking that if it was a bearing or something with the mount, that it would pop while slow steering too. hmmmmm

yo I hear that "fix it" stuff on TV Works good. Its the one that comes with the little buffing wheel. You guys know anything about that?
