coxman Posted December 16, 2023 Posted December 16, 2023 I have a 2017 SQ5 V6 petrol with 30k on the clock that has a chattering noise from the engine when at idle.If it was a 70's car I'd say tappets-do they have tappets these days? It's only audible with the bonnet up and turning off the AC makes no difference. It's still under an Audi used car warranty but I thought I'd try & pre-arm myself with some ideas before I go to them. Can someone recommend an indi somewhere near Watford I could go to for advice pls?
Magnet Posted December 16, 2023 Posted December 16, 2023 Thanks David, Is this engine running on a chain rather than a belt? Hope someone comes up with a recommendation for you. Kind regards, Gareth.

coxman Posted December 18, 2023 Author Posted December 18, 2023 In the end I took it to an Audi specialist in Harrow who said the rattle is normal for VAG petrols,it's the fuel injectors. Seem like a professional outfit so will be going back there for services etc. https://audivwsc.co.uk 1
