A1 strange noise under load

[Martyboy]

Good evening, just after some advice please. My daughter has recently bought a Audi A1 1.6 tdi 2012.

it has developed a noise when the car is under load. I have attached a video of myself with the car in gear and my foot on the brakes. As you can hear when I lift the clutch and the engine loads the noise begins.

thanks in advance Marty

Sorry Martin, I will not download anything from an untrusted source. If you would care to put it on Youtube for example I will be happy to watch it.

If it's bought within the last 30 days from a dealer get it back to them asap for them to fix. They have a duty to fix it free of charge.

Hi Steve it was a private sale around 3 months ago.

I wonder if an engine mount, or gearbox mount has failed causing either to knock on the body.

Agreed. It doesn't sound tinny enough to be an exhaust knock.
