I am about to buy a 98 A4 2.8 quattro SP with almost 100,000 miles, its a stick. when i test drove it, in first gear it makes a rattling noise, and then when i change gear to 2nd, it goes away completely, the car would sound amazingingly quiet if that noise in 1st gear isnt there, i thought it might be the engine reving to high but it wasnt.

Does anyone what it might be?

This will be my first car, my dad only drives mercedes and bmw'z but I love the Interior and uniqueness of Audis. I think they are extrememly under-estimated in quauility.
so any feedback on what that might be would be great.

 

This is mainly an introduction section, so welcome to the forums. You will have better luck with your question in the A4 section.

I would say that if a car is making strange noises when you test drive it, move on to the next car. There are plenty of fish in the sea.
