Zokiopp Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Hello I recently bought 1.6 TDi 2014 audi a3. I noticed a rattle at around 3200-3500 rpm. The sound is coming from behind the airvents (central). It drives me completely mad. We checked mounts, engine, transmission and everything is fine. I have a video https://youtube.com/shorts/HgzR8Dgbp6M?si=B8x8docbKaIZgowI Can someone help me how to resolve this? Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 It does not sound to me like a dashboard rattle, though it is hard to be sure from a recording. To my ears it sounds like an exhaust noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enc Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) I would agree with above. To me this sounds more like a “vibration” than a rattle. I can see in the video people looking into the open engine bay, did you inspect underneath the car for loose under trays/shields etc? Just an idea for for further checks😉 Edited August 5 by enc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zokiopp Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 We checked the engine and everything underneath, everything is good. Mounts mounts are good. I suspect a loose heater aluminium pipes. It is a vibration yes, not a rattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
