You're not going to believe this ..BUT..
Our new A2 which we finally picked up last week has the SAME problem as the old A2.
:(
For those of you not in the loop....our old A2( bought in July 2002) started "whsitling" after about 2500 km. By whistling I mean that a whistling noise came from the petrol tank area after the car reached a certain temperature, was turned off and the fairly quickly restarted. Our dealer changed filters and pumps and God knows what else about 8 times before we finally said, enough is enough... the noise also got louder over time. ( Although it does disappear once you've driven for a while agian).
Anyway were delighted when we finally got all the paper work through and the car was taken back. We still decided to stay with the FSI and as I said picked it up 2 weeks ago. We have already driven 800 km with the new car and at the weekend had driven about 40km when we pulled up at a shop; dropped into buy something and was out again within a mx. of 5 minutes. Restarted the car and ...it started the exact same whistling noise out of the exact same area.
We're at our wits end...[29]
Please all FSI drivers can you please try out what I just described... drive 40 or so km, then stop for a couple of minutes and then restart the car.... and see what happens.[4][4][4][31][10][2][2][2][1][1]
