I have an A2 1.4 TDI SE 03 plate...
I really like the car, the styling and mostly the fuel economy!
BUT, there is one thing that does annoy me allot! and it only becomes apparent once the engine is warm, after a journey of at least 20 minutes.
The fault is best described as an ‘ooh’ noise that lasts for about ½ a second when pulling away in 1st gear, or even dabbing the accelerator upon engine idle.
I have taken the car into my Audi dealer in Chester, and they have said …
” OH YEA, ALL A2’S DO THAT NOISE, IT COMES FROM THE EGR SOLENOD, THAT IS FITTED TO A STEEL BRACKET THAT IS FIXED TO THE METAL CAR WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT”
So …. Do your A2’s make this weird noise?
I was also told that there is a modification available, and that Audi have produced rubber feet that can be fitted in-between the EGR solenoid bracket and the car … but wait for it ! The cost alone without fitting is £70.00 !
If this is the case, how come Audi don’t recognise that this is a fault and fit the damn things for free?
After all for them to create a modification they must be accepting that there is a fault, mustn’t they??
I would really appreciate any comments you may have with this, if any and of course any advice you may have.
