i love my a4 b7 quattro, only had it two months but it feels like im driving an old alfa, never know whats going to work and when.
Ok, i had oil pump failure, managed to turn it off straight away. Put a brand new ballancer pump in with new pick up also timing chain and tensioner at same time.
Car started and drove sweet as for about two weeks or so, i now get a knocking noise from cold start up wich lasts for about a second and ticks over fine, i can drive it flat out or easy and its sweet. Once it gets to temp (and i know temp is correct as i just fitted a new thermo, car sits bang on 90) it sound so bad on tick over, like a really noisy diesel, as you increase the throttle the noise goes as the revs climb up. where do i start, could it bee the VVT?
