Hello Everyone!
I'm after a little advice regarding a recent problem on my Pride and Joy!
It's a 51 plate (2002) 1.8L T Sport, done 80K miles. It's had a full Audi service every year of it's life. CAm belt replaced at 67K miles.
A few months ago it started making a whining sound after the engine fires up. It sounds a little like something is rubbing like a bearing perhaps? Anyway, it didn't affect performance in any way, was just irritating.
However! In the last couple of weeks, in addition to this noise, it has started running a high revs (approx 1500 rpm) when I first start the car. It does this for around a minute before dropping to just below 1000 rpm.
Even worse, this morning I started the car and the engine immediately stalled. it did this twice before starting up and working OK.
It only does this when left in my garage overnight. It doesn't seem to be cold related, if anything it has gotten worse since we started having this damper/milder weather.
Any ideas or help you could offer woud be hugely appreciated!!!!!
Cheers, :beerchug:
