I love my A4, but just lately it seems to be one thing after another (http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=71715)...
Here's another little problem that's developed in the past couple of weeks. Wonder if anyone can shed any light? When pulling away under load in 1st (ie up a slight incline), I often hear a groaning / grinding noise (more a groan than a grind, but I'm struggling to describe it). Doesn't do it every time and only lasts a couple of seconds, but is fairly repeatable if I keep the revs lowish while I'm letting out the clutch.
Clutch feels fine (clutch and flywheel new about 10,000 miles ago).
After digging around a bit I wondered if it could be something to do with the alternator tensioner pulley (?), but I don't have any other symptoms like horrible noises on full steering lock.
Any suggestions? Other than the noise everything feels fine.
