S8 help :-(

Post by Rangeyr01 » Sun Apr 07, 2013 7:22 pm

Hi guys,

Upon start up today my D3 S8 has started to make a ridiculously loud squealing initially it was when idling but now it does it intermittently when driving, has anyone else experienced this? The noise is that loud when the bonnet is open it hurts your ears.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Ross
