The last couple of weeks , my Audi A6 is making strange noises when I engage Drive or Reverse. Once I put foot on the accelerator noise fades out and disappears. It has been with three different mechanics and they can’t find the problem. NCT was completed 4 weeks ago, and this didn’t come up at all.
Noise sounds like a rattling exhaust or rattling heatshield. When the car is hoisted up on a 2 post, nothing can be seen rattling or nothing is loose.
When it comes to the gearbox(Automatic), gear changes are smooth at butter. Gearbox might be due an oil change though.

Stone chips/gravel between the gearbox and subframe? Mine sounded like broken drivesaft joint.

Thanks, I will check this out. Noise is driving me crazy now, at least I have a new place to look :)

And get that oil changed. I once had a small stone lodged between the disc rotor and the aluminium cover, sounded like a sack of cats being castrated all at once.
