Hi.
Picked up a 26k miles 11 reg A3 quattro 170 tdi sline black editor yesterday after travelling from Durham to Glasgow for it from a dealership.
Took for quick test drive and everything spot on but I was in a built up area so never got over 40mph.
Anyway on way home i hit the motorway and at around 60mph in 5th or 6th...seems to be around 2k rpms their is a weird droning noise i think is coming from the rear. At first I thought maybe exhaust tone or quattro droning and ignore it but after 3 hrs it becomes annoying.
Been looking on here and their is mention of rear propshaft damper?
Is this normal with such low miles?
Will it suddenly give way and cause a breakdown or just get more annoying?
I'm going to phone dealer now as i have 2 months parts and labour warranty but I also took out 2 yrs extended warranty so I am praying it's covered and don't have to go back to Glasgow since they are a large national chain.
First Audi. Very impressed with the handling in the wet yesterday
Cheers
