    Urgent help/advice needed

    Cheers guys, thanks for the comments. I had a full refund from the garage, they were a slightly bitter about the situation and tried to get me to buy another car from them but I would have been doing that for no reason as they had nothing else I liked. I am having a rest from VAG, my last...

    Strange noise.

    Yeah that noise was the least of my worries. Not sure when people mention the clutch in this thread, if they are refering to me or the thread hijacker. My issue was certainly not the clutch.

    Thanks for the concerns and advice. I am trying to recall what the mechanic told me. I believe the chain slipped. The car has done 90k miles, full audi service and timing belt had been changed in 2012. I will wait to see what the dealer does. They have not contacted me as of yet I have had to...

    Strange noise.

    So it seems like I am not the only one with this issue; a few guys at audizine and stateside call it a rattle snake under the bonnet. Here is a link to someone who has exactly the same sound as I have; Funny noise when rpms are going down - YouTube New turbo time?

    PCV Help

    Sorry to bump up a thread. I have a question about the PCV system. I took the oil filler cap off the engine, whilst it was running and there was suction and the same through the dipstick. Is this normal or not? My idle is fine, I was just having a nose around the engine and can recall...

    Strange noise.
