I am having problems with a persistent noise which has developed over the last 8 months on my 02 1.8T A6 47K which has the multitronic gearbox installed.
The nature of the problem is that when I accelerate between the 4,000 and 6,000 rev range there is a persistent "flapping" sound coming from the engine. At first I thought it was some trim that had come adrift due to the noise it was making.
I have had the car into the local dealership on 3 separate occasions only to be told that the noise is nothing unusal.
The car comes out of warranty in this summer and I do need to get to the root cause of the problem as I do not wish to have any expensive gearbox or turbo repairs in the future.
I have also started going through quite a lot of engine oil which is also a little concerning again to be told that this is again quite usual this type of car.
I will be taking the car back to the dealer but thought I would post the query on the board to see if anyone else had experience to help colaberate a story to present to them.
