Audi A6 2.0 tdi rattle from engine

[rowdy-999]

Chap down the road from me has a 17reg Passat with a 2.0tdi. It sounds like a bag of old spanners from cold, and even when warmed up. The wife's 1.9tdi sounds far more refined.
That's progress for you.

Lol, I stand clear from mine when starting from cold in a busy car park, when 'warm' however she sounds 'normal' again. Not sure if they all do it as I never noticed it with the courtesy car. Must have another listen to it in the morning...

Thanks Dutch Paddy,

That's really useful to know. Have you tried pumping the brake pedal and if so did it make a difference?

I'm hoping to have my car back tomorrow sometime and I will try the pumping of the brakes and will report back.

Well, fired the car up this morning and tried the pumping of the brake pedal and it kind of works. The initial louder popping noise dies away but is still noticeable. Only when the car gets up to temperature it is fully gone.

Hi, I did the same today too. Pumping the brake pedal sort of made it a tiny bit better but as you say the noise doesn't truly go until it warmed up.
