Hello, very pleased to have found this forum.
I'm hoping it can be a useful source of info, plus perhaps I can help one day.
I've a 2014 S3 (55,000 miles) which has recently started making a 'whinning/humming' noise from the rear. (It's regularly serviced)
My local garage (not Audi) has checked the wheel bearings, and they seem ok. Tyres look ok, no odd shapes in the tread/profile. It's a strange one as the sound is louder as I free-wheel/roll forward, without accelaration, even at very low speeds 2-3-5mph, but as soon as I apply even the smallest amount of throttle the sound/humming reduces by 50-70%. I thought it was wheel bearings but at such low speeds it did seem a bit odd.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
