Audi A6 2.0 tdi rattle from engine

**burningoil** · 26-01-2016,09:15 PM

Noticed car was noisy when I left engine on to clear frost.
sounded like a rattle from front of engine.

Car is 2.0 tdi 190 bhp ultra
registered March 2015, done
8,000 miles . It's in at dealer
please see response
" it could be either a pully or condenser fault but needs to eliminate either as Extended Warranty will only pay for the actual part that is at fault."

any thoughts ???? I'm concerned

If it was registered in March 2015, it's not on extended warranty. Audi has an obligation to fix it and give you a courtesy car whilst they find it if it's going to take time.

you are correct. It was registered April 2015. They have had the car since last Friday morning. They gave me a courtesy car so its no problem. The last car was a 2012 one with same reg, so maybe the lady got mixed up. Cheers

New condensor being fitted under warranty !

had to press for it - car was in a couple of times

but hopefully fixed now

Not sure how the condenser could be noisy unless it was hanging loose or something, or how it took a couple of visits?

Not sure. I'm not a technical person, but here first response after car was in first time

"The vibration/rattle has gone since he removed and refitted the ribbed v belt/ aircon pulley. The noise has now gone with or without the aircon on. He has tested it several times a day.

Update. Replaced condensor. Thats not solved problem and are now speaking to Audi Technical for a solution. They had car since 16th Feb . No probs we got a loan car.
Anyone else had these issues?

All 4 cylinder Audis are rattly. In fact all 4 cyl diesels are rattly, especially when cold.

well aware of what a 4 cylinder diesel sounds like ( hot or cold ) . Had quite a few of them since 2004.
Thought idea of forum was to share experiences of cars ( I must be mistaken ):
So far garage replaced
CONDENSOR
TENSIONER RIBBED BELT. Not had it back yet.
Enjoy your car
