SL89 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hi all, I'm currently experiencing a whining noise but can not work out what it is! It’s is an Audi 1.6 tfsi with only 20000 on the clock. Would anyone be able to help please? IMG_1204.MP4 IMG_1205.MP4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It sounds very much like a bearing spinning its housing, but which one I have no idea. The possibilities that occur to me are: alternator, water pump, power steering pump, air-con pump, but there may be others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hello Stephen, I’m with Cliff on this, but notice it’s likely the car is still under warranty, so best bet is get it booked in without delay. If it’s not under warranty, then I would be removing the auxiliary belt to see if the noise disappears. If I did then it’s a question of determining whether it’s the alternator, air con, tensioner etc. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
