Today, after nearly 4 weeks, I finally get the car back and all seems to be well currently!
I was told there would be some increased noise with the new flywheel which there is at lower revs- especially third gear around 1500 revs (sounds like a tractor!) - some questions for those who have had the lightened flywheel mod: have you noticed the same? also, why is the noise more apparent in third gear?? Joshie/Prawn I think you've had this mod on your previous S4's..
I assume it is the same with the RS4's?
You can mitigate the noise by changing up to 3rd gear at a higher road speed then you had previously been used to. Also try to avoid cruising in 3rd(or any higher) gear at low road speeds.

A lightweight flywheel does NOT make a noise. The standard dual mass Audi flywheel has springs inside it that muffle out the engine/gearbox noise so you cannot hear what is already there, if that makes any sense.
