Hi,
I have recently bought a second hand A2 1.4 SE (Y reg) and it has some faint noises at low speed. It is hard to describe, but the nearest description I can think of is that it sounds a bit like bubbling, or clicking. It also reminds me of the kind of metal stress noise a submarine will make if it goes too deep. I have read the discussions about "creaking" noises posted by realitybites, but I don't think it is the roll bar drop link, since the noise is still there after the link was replaced (which did remove another noise).
The noise is only audible when you move off and at low speeds, and starts right away. You can also hear the noise if you leave the handbrake on and engage the clutch in first gear.
My problem is that I bought the car second hand from Toyota, and although it comes with a 12 months warrantee, Toyota not being familiar with the car couldn't find the problem. They suggested I take the car to Audi for a road test, which identified the problem with the roll bar drop link, but didn't cure the bubbling noise.
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
best regards
George
