Hey guys. I brought my first audi. A 2004 A8L. I hear a buzzing noise around the drivers window at around 70-80mph.I had to take it back to the dealer so they can certifymy car since they didnt do it before I brought. So I had to drivea hour and ahalf to to take back to the dealer I got it from.Ibrought up the buzzing noise. They changed theinsulation strip on the doorto solve that problem but that didnt work. Irefuse to drive back up there. Do anybodyknow anything about this problem.

 

welcome to the forums -
hopefully someone in the a8 section can help u out...


why didnt u test the car b4 taking the car back from the dealership?
hopefully its an easy fix for u
- if not.. id defenitely have words w/ the dealer for giving the car back to u "unfixed"

 

I did test drive the car. Unfortantly I didnt get a chance to get upto 80 mph. I have a appointment with the local audi dealer on Monday. Hopefully they can fix the problem and do not give me a headache at the same time.

 

Does the door buzz with the window down too?

 

I dont drive with the windows down at that speed. Should I try it? I dont think the buzzing noise that loud that I can hear it at that speed with the windows down.

 

No, buzzing noises from the door are extremely rare, you might wanna pull the door panel off and take it for a drive to see if the noise is louder or no longer there. Its easy to pull the panel off, there is two bolts (pic) you have to take out. Just make sure to use super glue or silly putty on the lower bolt because you don't want it to fall behind the door compartment. When the bolts are out slowly pry it off with a screwdriver, or give it a good yank like i do.

 

I am at the dealership this morning. When I tried to go to work this morning. The car would not start. The battery said it had a 100% and everything came on. It just wouldnt start. Roadside sent a flatbed. The driver kept calling my a piece of crap and I had to drive with him 40 miles to the dealer. I am actually at the dealer now waiting for my car. They have computers in the waiting room. I ask them to check out the buzzing noise too since I was here.

 

The dealer didnt find the problem with the buzzing noise yet. They said the starter was bad thats why my car would not start. come to find out the trunk latch is bad. My trunk would not close all the way with the power button and open back up. The power folder driver mirror is bad. It was getting stuck half way up. They changed everthing under warranty. They dont have the motor for the mirror so they will have my car for 4 days. Hopefully they find out the buzzing noise.
