Strange metallic noise

[Ruairidh Brown]

Wonder if anyone can help. I have a 2lt tdi quattro Q3 under 2 years old. In the last couple of days it has developed a strange metallic grinding noise when driving along the road or reving the engine when stationary. Have done all the usual checks oil, brakes etc. Definatley here it more in side the car than out. Switched off aircon/fan so its not that. Anyone on here any idea? No warning lights coming on. Thanks

Just realised this is covered by Audi roadside assistance. Sending a VW technician tomorrow lunch time to check it out. Will let you know how i get on.

Strange that it's also while stationary - will be interested to hear what's causing this!
