Hello Just got a 2013 Audi A3 Quattro (who hoo yesterday. While driving home from work today at speeds between 25 and 40ish mph upon slow acceleration, I hear a rattle almost like somethings loose or perhaps just the engine doesn't do well at light acceleration. If you press down and accelerate you don't hear the noise at all.

Any thoughts from anyone? I am looking forward to being involved with other A3 owners

Best Regards
Michele

 

PS I was doing some reading, perhaps this sound has to do with the Turbocharger? I found a TSB for a Toureg VW 2.0L but not sure if that is the same engine type as what I have...

 

Well, although there are 0 posts from this forum, I figured I would post the latest. Took "Baby" to dealer Service Manager went for ride with me says it's the flap on the turbo partially engaging at that rpm and throttle range and all is fine with the car.
