Rattling from Engine?
Hey,
I'm a brand new newb here and to Audi's in general. I just bought a 98.5 A4 1.8TQM today and started hearing a rattling sound coming from the engine. As I step on the pedal, its perfectly fine, but when I let go and the revs come down, then the rattling can be heard.
Anybody know what this sound is?? Is it common?
Thanks

I really can't tell where its coming from. What I can tell you is that it sounds EXACTLY like how a bicycle sounds while your moving but not pedaling (sound of chain moving).
Anybody have any clue?

i would bet money on it being the wastegate in the turbo thats my girlfriends is. When it revs up fine but the down rev it makes a clicking.
Turned out to be the wastegate won't close . So it is also low on power. does your car feel low on power?? I bet thats what is you problem.

Well, I wouldn't know if it has a loss in power because this is my first Audi. However, I don't feel the boost hit at all...am I supposed to? I had a 89 Supra Turbo before, so its really hard to distinguish if the car is even hitting boost at all.
But I am starting to think that it MAY be the wastegate because when I rev and the revs go down (ex: 5000 rpm ----> idle), thats when the rattling can be heard. I'll look into it, thanks for the help.
