New Noise - Engine noise while in Drive - '02 1.8T Quattro
Hello All,
2002 Audi 1.8T Quattro, Auto with Triptronic Transmission New problem. Just back from having the engine serviced. Notice now that while in drive (and only in drive - mind you I haven't tried it in reverse yet) when the RPMs get to just over 2000 - there is a very high-pitched "whirring" sound emitting from the engine (it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where as this only happens when the car is in drive). It seems as though it is emitting from the upper portion of the engine but again it is very difficult to tell. The "Whirring" noise increases in pitch and intensity as the RPMs increase from 2000 to about 3500 (reducing as the gears shift and RPMs decrease). If the car is in park or neutral this noise does not occur even when the engine is brought to between 2000 and 3500 RPMs I have run the car with the radio off - eliminating static interference on the radio as one culprit. I have shut off all other electrical components and the noise still persists I just got the car back from major engine work due to sludge. I would like to understand what this could be before I get "jammed" by the dealer. Thanks |

Thought about it some more - the noise almost sounds like a vacuum
cleaner motor (but much higher pitch) when the vacuum hose is clogged or blocked. |

The sound you describe could be due to low power steering fluid but I do not
know why it would be related to the transmission. Still worth checking. CDN_THNK_TNK wrote: > Thought about it some more - the noise almost sounds like a vacuum > cleaner motor (but much higher pitch) when the vacuum hose is clogged > or blocked. > |

Thanks Tony. I am also puzzled. Incidentally, MIL illuminated as I
was driving home last night. Performance (acceleration) seems "soft" - noise is still occuring. |
