Thanks for your help, it looks like Molnboman is spot on thank you, when I checked last night by running the engine it was difficult to remove the oil cap and when I did air was sucked into the engine, new PCV on order, thanks for your help, Ken

Thanks A, I have to admit that the noise in this video is exactly the same I am convinced of it - audi engine noise.m4v - YouTube will take a look tonight and let you know, one thing why would it happen only when she is warm? Is the round black assembly the PCV valve? Thank you for the help...

Just a thought, if it was the turbo bearings would I expect to see a lot of smoke from the exhaust? any help would be appreciated

Hi Everyone, I have what sounds like a big problem which I think may be Turbo bearings, here are the symptoms - Everything fine when cold, engine idles and revs fine with no noises. When she gets warm I get a horrible screeching noise at idle and on the move when taking my foot off the gas...

Doesnt help that they have left off the acoustic cover!, didnt even realise with all the frustration, I cannot believe that place after all that I have been through

I just went to listen to the engine again and realised they have left off the acoustic engine cover!, just didnt see it yesterday with all the frustration, I just cannot believe that £ucking place

Got the car back, engine is pretty much the same, the timing gear and fuel pump parts where supposedly inspected with no faults found but to be honest after my experience with appalling customer service at Shrewsbury Audi I have lost all confidence in them and suspect nothing was done, they...

Well I had my day with Shrewsbury Audi, went fully armed with pictures etc, went through the fact that I was unhappy with the exterior finish against the price I had paid for the vehicle, the fault with the clutch switch and alternator which should have been picked up during the PDI and the...
