i just recently bought a 2002 a4 with 33k miles on it and everytime the car accelerates, there is ametalvibration soundwhich sounds like it is coming from the a/c vent on the left of the steering wheel...it goes away after a couple of seconds but it happens every time the car accelerates. i hoped it would go away but it hasn't in 3 weeks...has anyone heard of this before or does anyone have any advice?

thanks!

Does it sound like a dentist drill?

lol, I know what you're getting at. I hope for his sake it isn't the dentist drill.

no its not a dentist drill i know that for sure...its a really annoying noise though hahah

you could have a loose heat shield on a cat or something. I'm not familiar with what the B6's look like underneath, but you might want to have a look, see if anything's loose.

I don't know about all that, but 33k miles on a 2002... WHAT THE ****.

Don't you have warrany till 36,000 miles? It should be covered if you do.

I think its 3 year or 36k miles whichever comes first but i could be wrong.

Your right, I missed that.

I currently have a quiet yet noticeable light rattle in dash somewhere, but I only hear it at low rpms and high gear...like 25 in 4th...but the second my revs are up it immediately fades...if you can live with it, don't worry about it...does everything in your car still work?...+1 for cat or heat shield...

good luck!
