My RS4 B8 has a loud noise inside the vehicle. It sounds like the power steering pump. Only audible at idle.
The noise is equal to 45% volume on the radio. Has any one got a solution for this. I have heard the same noise in another RS4 B8.
Being told that all RS4s have this noise is not an option as it is too loud.

Re: Whining noise
It has been back to the dealer but they are not sure what it is--they have now sent a recording to the factory. There is no disputing that there is a loud noise. New RS4 and RS5 on the showroom floor both have same problem. Air con turned off to eliminate this.
Re: Whining noise
Have you got a video of it? I am no expert but someone on here might have an idea... That all sounds very strange

I'd make a guess that it's Aircon related then...GOLDFERN wrote:It has been back to the dealer but they are not sure what it is--they have now sent a recording to the factory.

Re: Whining noise
Noise same with air condition turned off. There is a vibration matching the sound in the steering wheel. I know of three new RS4s and a new RS5 with this noise. The noise is only inside. If any of you B8 RS4 owners could give me feed back if you have a noise at idle let me know.
Re: Whining noise
Sorry mate, (or not?) no such noise here; yet. If anything changes I'll be sure to moan like @$#k.GOLDFERN wrote:Noise same with air condition turned off.

Re: Whining noise
Same here, no noise in mine. If there was, it'd be drowned out by the squealing brakesRivBlueB8 wrote:Sorry mate, (or not?) no such noise here; yet.

Throw it at the dealer and refuse it back until they sort it, they'll soon get it done

Re: Whining noise
I have the exact same issue with mine. Took it to dealer here in Dubai who thinks it may be a steering pump or ball bearing issue. Its booked in in a couple of weeks to hopefully get sorted.GOLDFERN wrote:It has been back to the dealer but they are not sure what it is--they have now sent a recording to the factory.

Did you manage to get any meaningful feedback from the dealer/factory on this noise that you can share?
