i can only hear it when idling or lightly accelerating....im not saying it goes away bt once i start picking up speed all i hear is engine and wind.....my dads friend did say my turbo sounds like S***....so i was planning on replacing that anyways....if i were to buy a new turbo or have it rebuilt would that valve be something that would be included?

 

almsot sounds like your lifters are starting to clog to me, if you hit the gas hard or WOT, you may be getting the oil in there under hard pressure, i would try to use seafoam b4 you change your oil, you may have alittle sludging, run the seafoam for about 50 miles or so then change the oil, cant hurt but should help, if not im out of idea's

 

Are you puttting in the right gas? if you are getting a ticking maybe your using too low of a grade..

 

putting in the right gas....93 right? and i try to stick to shell but i make no promises......would i be out of line if i asked what seafoam is? i can probably look it up...dont bother


but i called an audi dealership thinking worst comes to worst i have a bad clutch and they said 3gs for a new clutch...that seemed a little excessive to me...but again ill look around

thanks for the help guys ill try the seafoam thing maybe i can put it in thursday night...drive to work friday (60 miles rountrip if i take backroads)and change oil saturday
