Hi, i have a problem that started today,

i was nearly home when i could hear a squeeking type noise!,

i turned down the radio and my car had almost like a quite belt slipping noise?

I slowed down to a satndstill the noise got less, then when stopped it stopped,

I drove again the noise got louder the faster i went,

I went to pull in at a lay by as i thought this could be bad, and i wanted to put it in neutral and rev it to see if its there then,

But it stopped?

i drove the 5 miles back carefuly, and never done it again

Now this is the first time i have ever heard this noise in my car, and it drove fine, temp fine etc,

a year ago i had, cam belt, pullys water pump, aux belt all replaced, done about 10-12k since i think,

Does any1 know what i could do now to have a look, or what it might be??

It sounded like it was def coming from the engine, when the windows were down i could not hear it it got drown out with the road noise,

Also i checked it was not the fans, cos at first i though it was a heater fan, making it, but turned it on/off no difference?

Any thoughts as i wont be able to get any1 to have a look till next week, and i dont really want to drive it incase something fails, and makes things worse, thanks alot, :icon_thumright:
 
Was it all the time or only when the steering was on full lock? My A4 2.0TDi needed a pulley replaced which 'squeaked' if my steering was on full lock in either direction and pushed.

Can't remember which one, but an ex-VAG mechanic who now works at our workshops did it after work one night for £50 all in.

Could find out if you liked.
 
hi mate . it was just driving along thats all,no difference
 
Hi all

I have found a vid that sort of sounds like the noise i heard, apart from my noise would stop when i stopped.

And as i got faster the noise got faster/maybe louder,

I could not really hear it with windows down, and definately sounded as if it was coming from the engine, but the noise sounded the same but louder, like a un oiled moving part spinning,

Hi,

I know its a long shot,

But has any1 got any place for me to have a look at what the cause could be:think:

As i have some time now, the thing is it does not seem to be doing it?
