Hey, just had a major service done on my 1998 A3 1.9TDI sport with 169K.
Both belts where changed in a independant garage, and this noise has appeared since this was carried out.
i think the engine noise is quiter, but there is now a rattle that comes and goes from the very top part of the engine beside the cambelt cover.
i was given it a listen to tonight, its more noticeable when warm, but comes and goes.
before this there was always a rattle on a cold start up that went away after a few seconds, but have read that is caused by something else.
any ideas suggestions or anyone that identifies the same problem with there a3 please message.
much regards
