Hi All,
I thought I would post looking for any suggestions.
We have a 2013 SQ5 with around 80k miles and full Audi history. The car runs very nicely and drives well. Tappety on start up buy they all are. We have noticed that when reversing up our drive there is a loud rattle from the front. It isn’t noticeable when driving forwards but only when reversing up the incline.
My first thought was maybe a heat shield (hopefully) or perhaps bottom end bearings (hopefully not). I took the engine cover off the top and there is nothing obviously loose at the top.
I had the wife reverse the car up the drive with the bonnet up and me following carefully. It appeared to be from the engine itself from a few feet away. Could this be timing belt tensioners?
Any thoughts would be appreciated as it is a strange one as it only happens when under load in reverse up the hill.
Thanks in advance
