The car has just passed 69000 miles. It's funny now that you mention it but the noise is not a loud noise and I only noticed it because I am so used with the normal car sound. What exactly is pinking? I have another problem where I have been told by a friend that this is pre-ignition. When I...

Not speed related as it happens whichever gear I am in at those revs. I tryed it out last night on a stretch of road nearby which has just been resufaced with a noiselesss surface and when the car is cold there is definately nothing. When the car is warmed up though it occurs and appears to be...

My Audi 80 sport has developed a noise. The noise is a low pitch vibratory pulse which occurs under acceleration between 2500 and 3000 rpm. The noise also increases in frequency through this rpm range. The noise is not present when the car is out of gear and then throttle applied to the...

This is a difficult one. I had problem which was the opposite but sounds similar. When I opened the passenger door I couldn't close it again because the lock mechanism was jammed. This had nothing to do with the central locking though so I removed the lock and cleaned it then lubricated it...

You're so lucky. I wish I had a good mate who could do this for me. I've had so much trouble with independants and I'll have to bite the bullet and go back to Audi. Mine's an Audi 80 Sport 2.0, 10 years (in january), with the same mileage (68000) and while it's not a brilliant car I love it...

Back again. Just got back from Audi yesterday afternoon. The mechanic first adjusted the belts which was a wrong decision as they squeeled when starting the car then they replaced the hoses. After spending close to £1000 on trying to solve the problem it is finally cured. The hose which...

I think I may die if this is the problem. Especially since I've forked out in excess of £600 to try and solve this. I can't imagine that a replacment return pipe will cost much though. In the mean time I've booked the car into my local Audi dealer for a diagnosis and I will take these comments...

The hissing sound does not increase when when the steering is turned. Infact it takes very little to make the hiss stop, only a slight turn either left or right to put a small amount of load onto the steering will stop the hiss altogether. One of the first things that I checked for was foaming...

I have no problems with the engine performance. Even though the noise appears to come from the power steering I also have no loss in steering response. Infact now that a new pump and rack are on the steering is better than when I bought the car in 1998. There does appear to be a slight drone...

The car only lost hydraulic fluid when the first replacement racks pinion seal inverted. no leaks from it otherwise since the problem started and no leaks from the pump. The noise has never stopped from the time it first started to occur in february.

I have an Audi 80 Sport 2.0 1995. In February I noticed a hissing sound tranlating itself through the dash and the steering column. The hiss would not appear at first but would gradually get louder as the car warmed up. The hiss only occurs when the steering is not being turned (either left or...
