ok, mi car makes a weir noise by the engine,it happen just when the car is hot, i mean after i drive for more than 10 miles or so, i took it to a local mechanic, they told me that there is something wrong with the valves, do u guys thing is gonna be expensive to fix? im scared...im serious..

 

It's sort of hard to diagnose sounds over the internet. Is your check engine light on?

 

It does what? Im really confused.

 

idont have CEL and and it sound kind of like (dont make fun, idk how to explain that) but it goes like taka, taka taka... my friend says that if i drive a tractor.. lol

 

Nothing like valve rap to brighten up ones day. It sounds like maybe you need a valve job, I wouldn't know how much it would cost, I'm new to audis and the last vehicle I drove was a chevy with the almost indestructible 350 v8.

 

its definitely a valve job, i heard thats expensive.. The mechanic is gonna see the car 2morrow

 

The valves themselves should not be an issue unless they were damaged from a broken timing belt. If it sounds like the noise comes from the rear of the engine mostly then it's probably your cam chain tensioner, or you have sludge restricting oil from reaching the top of your engine.

 

Ok i just came from the Repair shop, the guy told me its the "Diverter Valve"











but wut i want to order(is not in stock, so i have to wait idk how long) looks a little bit diff






but also, notice thet the guy was not 100% sure of what he told me, so wht can i do?
could this make that weird noice? should i stop driving mi car?


also what they have in stock at ecstuning is this..







but it looks like plastic, and whats in the car looks kind of like the first picture..

 

If you are running stock just get the plastic one... If you are chipped or runnin k04 or better get the forge. Up to you though both work and not that expensive either way. Also, you don't need to wait for an online order if you get the stock dv locally

 

That's not the diverter valve. That's the combination valve (#18 in the pic), which is primarily for cold engine starts.

The diverter valve shouldn't make a chattering noise and if it was it would be located near the passenger headlight.
