No i left mine, it doesn't really bother me but let me know how much better it is when you get it back?

Loads better to my ear, most noticeably better at low revs 20-30mph and on overrun. So made a big difference to me.

I was just going to post that mine makes the same noise and its 100% the noise actuator.

Have you had yours replaced? Audi Derby have done mine and I’m collecting this morning.

Are you sure its not a nackered sound actuator making that noise It’s interesting you say that, the first Audi assist bloke did suggest that, that would explain why you can’t hear anything outside of the car. I mean fingers crossed it’s that as I assume it’s a relatively straight forward fix? Just ...

Hi mate yours does sound a tad different at idle than my ‘22 RS but hard to tell with the video. Where is the country are you? You could meet a nearby member if poss for a comparison.

How did the Audi Assist visit go?

They actually referred me this time. So it’s been at derby since Friday.

It’s hard to tell. Do you have a longer clip? I can do a comparison with my B9.5 RS Vorsprung Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah of course thank you, I think it loses a bit of clarity when I upload but the I think you can hear the knocking noise fairly clearly on this one. https://youtube.com/...

Listening to it there seems to be a bit of a knock noise, probably half crank speed - camshaft? When my 2020 F3 RSQ3 had a similar noise the dealer said 'normal' when in fact one of the camshaft actuating followers with a roller that follows that cam profiles was broken - eventually completely fail...

Thanks all, it definitely doesn’t sound right to my ears. I’ve rang customer care, Audi assist and the bookings line for maintenance. Still can’t get in until January so audit assist are coming back out tomorrow and hopefully I can get them to recover to the dealership. What happens post that who kn...

Very hard to tell from video/audio but doesn't sound terrible. If it is stationary but with a gear selected it can hunt slightly sometimes. Sorry not a lot of help! Not at all, thank you for replying. Audi assist have said the same. I’ve asked someone else on insta to send me a vid of their at idle...

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knew if the below sound at idle is normal for the B9.5 RE 4. I’ve had Audi assist out and they’ve said it’s just the sound of the engine but somethings telling me there’s more to it. Most noticeable when gearbox is in S between 1000/2000rpm. https://youtube.com...
