Strange noise

[Derwood1985]

Hi people - newbie here 😬😬

So ive picked up a 2004 A4 Advant Sport 2.5 V6 TDI as the original owner was selling do to being told the dmf was on its way. I've had a listen and starting to question wheather it is the dmf. I've got a clip of the sound and where the sound is coming from - so my question is, has anyone heard this sound (sorry for the quietness of the sound trying to pick up on) but is a metallic clunk/scrape, more prominent from the n/s/f part of the engine. 

 

Any my help would be appreciated 

Thanks - Darren

HI Darren

Hard to tell with the sound of the Diesel engine running but if it was DMF I don't think you would hear it on idle, only when accelerating/decelerating and on startup/shutdown.

I would have a look at the clutch release bearing....does the noise disappear when you press the clutch in?
