Hi Guys I was reading this morning@web to see if I can find someone with a similar problem maybe an answer for mine, so: a4 tdi 136 2012 59k on the clock is looking like develops now a rather strange noise under load..2nd,3rd,4th gear. I can hear it well in 2nd gear over 2200 rpm hence my fear for the turbo. I should say that the noise is more obvious as winter weather came in place. The car sound like an owl when I press the gas pedal but disappears after 2500 I guess . No smoke no lack of power just that noise. Had four people in the car and again under load a bit of noise occurred. Doesn t matter if the engine is cold or on 90deg. I ll take down to Audi as the car is still under warranty although the turbo might not be coverd.If you have an idea let me know. Adi
 
check the exhaust for leaks / broken off muffler, owl sound is a symptom of straight pipe haha
